SCOPOLAMINE(HYOSCINE)

  • CAS No:51-34-3 Scopolamine
    Molecular Structure

    Other Information

  • CAS Registry Number: 51-34-3
  • Melting Point: 59 ºC
  • Density: 1.31
  • Safety Statements: Poison by intravenous, intraperitoneal, and subcutaneous routes. Moderately toxic by ingestion. Human systemic effects from very small amounts by subcutaneous and intramuscular routes: changes in surface EEG, distorted perceptions, excitement, hallucinations, and mydriasis. It can cause the individual who is affected to lose a certain amount of his normal inhibitory control. It is for that reason that it has been called “truth serum.” An experimental teratogen. Experimental reproductive effects. Human mutation data reported. In many cases of poisoning from this material, and even to a certain extent following its medical application, there is retention of the urine caused by paralysis of the bladder, and catheterization is necessary. The fatal dose is variable. Death has occurred from as little as 0.6 mg, while recovery has occurred from doses of 7–15 mg. An anticholinergic drug. When heated to decomposition it emits highly toxic fumes of NOx. See also ESTERS.
