Scopolamine is an acetylcholine antagonist meaning it inhibits the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the central and the peripheral nervous system. It works by competitively inhibiting muscarinic receptors for acetylcholine, acting as a nonselective muscarinic antagonist. It is a tropane alkaloid that can be found in certain plants in the Solanaceae family, such as Henbane (Hyoscyamus niger), Jimsonweed (Datura stramonium), and Belladonna (Atropa belladonna). Scopolamine also interacts with 5-HT3 receptors, where it acts as a competitive antagonist.
