A Case of Belladonna Poisoning With Late-Onset Reappearance of Anticholinergic Toxicity. [PDF]
On day 1, blood concentrations of atropine and scopolamine were extremely low, whereas urinary concentrations were elevated, suggesting rapid urinary excretion. Subsequently, urinary concentrations decreased; however, at symptom recurrence, the blood atropine concentration increased, suggesting redistribution into the bloodstream. ABSTRACT In a patient

Enhanced production of tropane alkaloids in transgenic Scopolia parviflora hairy root cultures over-expressing putrescine N-methyl transferase (PMT) and hyoscyamine-6β-hydroxylase (H6H) [PDF]
Scopolia parviflora adventitious roots were metabolically engineered by co-expression of the two gene putrescine N-methyl transferase (PMT) and hyoscyamine-6β-hydroxylase (H6H) cDNAs with the aid of Agrobacterium rhizogenes.
