Daturine

It is true that Schmidt had received pure atropine under the name of daturine, for I have proved most conclusively that the so-called daturine supplied by Trommsdorff, of Erfurt, is pure atropine and nothing else. ❋ Various (N/A)

I also tried in the same manner the alkaloid sold as daturine, which is believed not to differ from atropine, and it produced no effect. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)

Planta has already tried to show that atropine is identical with the daturine obtained by Geiger and Hesse, founding his opinion on facts which we nowadays look upon as doubtful. ❋ Various (N/A)

I have also shown that Merck's daturine differs from atropine, and is merely pure hyoscyamine. ❋ Various (N/A)

This eminent manufacturer was good enough to comply with my request, and sent me two products, one of which was marked "light daturine," the other ❋ Various (N/A)

The "heavy daturine," of which only a small quantity is obtainable, is far from being a body of definite composition, that is to say, it is a mixture of atropine and hyoscyamine. ❋ Various (N/A)

A short time afterward there appeared a paper by Schmidt which again asserted the identity of daturine and atropine. ❋ Various (N/A)

I have succeeded in splitting up "heavy daturine" by two different methods. ❋ Various (N/A)

I thought it as well, therefore, to recommence the study of daturine, the more so as I had already determined the incorrectness of the long accepted point of fusion of atropine, and that my researches on hyoscyamine convinced me that this base is an isomer of atropine, although very analogous to it. ❋ Various (N/A)

I need only mention that slight poisonings by means of chloroform, morphine, atropine, daturine, decrease, and that strychnine increases the sensitivity of the touch organ. ❋ Unknown (1911)

Neither the leaves nor seeds of these two varieties of _Datura_ have been studied from a chemical standpoint, but there is little doubt that the active principle is the _daturine_ (atropine and hyoscyamine) that exists so abundantly in _D. ❋ Jerome Beers Thomas (1891)

"heavy daturine," the separation of which was effected in the following manner: The solution of crude daturine in concentrated alcohol was mixed with a little hot water; this treatment caused the deposition of the ❋ Various (N/A)
