Atropine sulfate monohydrate is an anticholinergic drug that blocks the binding of acetylcholine to its receptors. It reduces or eliminates autonomic nervous system responses such as slowed heart rate, contraction of smooth muscle in the digestive tract, and slowed breathing. Eucalyptus sunwood, including eucalyptus leaves and bark, is one of the natural sources of product.
A an important anticholinergic drug, has a wide range of applications in the medical field. Its unique pharmacological effects make it play a crucial role in multiple therapeutic fields.

Anticholinergic effect
As a competitive non-selective anticholinergic agent, it exerts its pharmacological effects by competitively binding to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the body. It effectively blocks the binding of endogenous acetylcholine to target receptors, thereby antagonizing the overexcited parasympathetic nerve function. This core mechanism inhibits excessive contraction of visceral smooth muscles and suppresses the hypersecretion of various exocrine glands, including gastric glands, salivary glands, bronchial glands, and sweat glands.
By regulating smooth muscle tension and glandular secretory levels, the drug relieves visceral spastic pain, reduces abnormal bodily secretions, and stabilizes autonomic nervous system function. This broad-spectrum anticholinergic property serves as the fundamental pharmacological basis for its extensive clinical application in gastrointestinal, respiratory, circulatory, and toxicological diseases, achieving targeted therapeutic effects on multiple parasympathetic hyperactivity disorders.

Gastrointestinal diseases treatment
In gastroenterology, it is a classic first-line adjuvant drug for spastic and ulcerative gastrointestinal disorders. It acts directly on the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract, relieving persistent spastic contraction of the gastric and intestinal smooth muscles caused by parasympathetic hyperactivity, inflammation stimulation, or irritable bowel lesions. For common clinical conditions including gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, acute and chronic gastrointestinal spasms, and abdominal colic induced by gastroenteritis, the drug can rapidly alleviate paroxysmal abdominal pain, cramping discomfort, and gastrointestinal hyperperistalsis.
Additionally, its inhibitory effect on gastric gland secretion effectively reduces excessive gastric acid and pepsin production, which relieves mucosal irritation, reduces ulcer erosion stimulation, and creates a favorable repair environment for damaged gastrointestinal mucosal tissues, significantly improving patients' abdominal distension, pain, and abnormal defecation symptoms.
Pain relief for visceral colic
Beyond gastrointestinal pain, the drug possesses significant analgesic effects on various refractory visceral colic caused by smooth muscle spasm. It is widely used in the clinical relief of renal colic, biliary colic, and intestinal colic.

Renal colic induced by ureteral smooth muscle spasm due to urinary calculi, as well as biliary colic caused by gallbladder and biliary duct spasm from gallstones and cholecystitis, can be effectively relieved by atropine.By relaxing the overly contracted smooth muscles of the urinary and biliary tracts, it eliminates mechanical spastic compression and nerve stimulation, rapidly alleviates severe paroxysmal colic, and relieves patients' intense pain and autonomic reactions such as nausea and vomiting accompanied by colic. Notably, it targets the root cause of smooth muscle spasm rather than merely masking pain, delivering stable and sustained analgesic effects for visceral spastic pain.
Ophthalmic applications
Atropine sulfate monohydrate is an essential pharmaceutical agent in clinical ophthalmology, mainly applied in pupil dilation and cycloplegic refraction examinations. By blocking the muscarinic receptors of the iris sphincter muscle and ciliary muscle, it relaxes the contracted iris sphincter to achieve mydriasis and paralyzes the spastic ciliary muscle to eliminate regulatory accommodation spasm. During fundus examinations, full pupil dilation eliminates visual field obstruction caused by small pupils, enabling ophthalmologists to comprehensively and clearly observe the optic disc, retina, blood vessels, and macular lesions, greatly improving the detection rate of subtle fundus lesions.

In pediatric and adolescent optometry, its powerful cycloplegic effect can completely paralyze eye accommodation, eliminate pseudomyopia interference caused by accommodation spasm, and improve the accuracy of diopter measurement, providing reliable basis for accurate glasses matching and myopia diagnosis and intervention.
Treatment of infectious diseases
Relying on its unique anticholinergic and microcirculation-regulating activity, it plays a critical auxiliary therapeutic role in severe infectious diseases and critical syndrome treatment.
It is clinically applicable to infectious toxic shock and acute cardiogenic ischemic syndrome induced by antimony preparations, severe bacterial and viral infections.In critical infectious states, excessive release of inflammatory mediators and abnormal excitation of the parasympathetic nerve will cause microvascular spasm, microcirculation disturbance, and tissue ischemia and hypoxia. Atropine can dilate microvessels, relieve vascular smooth muscle spasm, improve systemic microcirculation and tissue blood perfusion, correct ischemic and hypoxic damage to vital organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys, and inhibit excessive inflammatory stress response.

It effectively stabilizes vital signs, prevents the progression of shock and ischemic lesions, and significantly reduces the mortality of severe infectious critical illnesses, serving as an important microcirculation regulatory drug in emergency critical care.
Rescue of organic phosphorus poisoning
It is the core first-aid drug for clinical rescue of organophosphorus pesticide poisoning. Organophosphorus compounds can inhibit the activity of human cholinesterase, leading to massive accumulation of acetylcholine in synaptic clefts, causing continuous excitation of muscarinic, nicotinic and central nervous system, and resulting in a series of severe poisoning symptoms such as profuse sweating, salivation, bronchial spasm, pulmonary edema, muscle tremor and coma.
Atropine competitively blocks peripheral and central muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, cuts off the pathological excitation signal caused by accumulated acetylcholine, and rapidly relieves critical poisoning symptoms including respiratory secretion hyperactivity, bronchospasm, bradycardia and hypotension. However, it only antagonizes the toxic effects of acetylcholine overaccumulation and cannot reactivate inhibited cholinesterase or eliminate residual organophosphorus toxins.

Therefore, for moderate and severe organophosphorus poisoning, atropine must be used in combination with cholinesterase reactivators such as pralidoxime to achieve thorough detoxification and improve the success rate of rescue.
Pre anesthesia administration
As a routine pre-anesthetic medication, it is widely used in various surgical anesthesia preparations to ensure perioperative patient safety. Under anesthesia stimulation, patients are prone to parasympathetic nerve excitation, leading to excessive secretion of respiratory tract and oral glands, which may cause airway obstruction, aspiration pneumonia and respiratory distress risks.
Atropine can significantly inhibit the hypersecretion of salivary glands, bronchial glands and respiratory mucosal glands, reduce oral and respiratory tract secretions, and keep the airway dry and unobstructed throughout the anesthesia and operation process. Meanwhile, it can block the vagal reflex induced by anesthesia and surgical traction, prevent bradycardia, hypotension and cardiac arrhythmia caused by vagal overexcitation, stabilize the patient's cardiovascular and respiratory functions, reduce anesthesia complications, and provide a safe and stable physiological condition for smooth surgical operation and postoperative recovery.


There are many synthetic methods of Atropine sulfate monohydrate, three typical synthetic methods will be introduced below.
Method 1: Using isopropanol as solvent:
First add isopropanol to the kettle, then add Atropine and excess sodium hydroxide and stir until dissolved in the reaction mixture. The temperature was raised until the reaction mixture began to boil, and bromoacetic acid was added at the same time, and then the reaction mixture was kept boiling for about 10 h. After the reaction was completed, the filter residue was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was added to sulfuric acid and continued to stir for 20 min to obtain a solid of it. Its reaction equation is as follows:
(1R,3r,5S)-8-Methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-yl(S)-tropate + NaOH + BrCH2COOH → Atropine bromide
Atropine bromide + Na2SO4 + H2SO4 + H2O → C17H25NO7S.

Method 2: Using benzene as a solvent:
Benzene was added to the kettle, followed by Atropine and excess NaOH and stirred until dissolved in the reaction mixture. Heated to 90°C, while adding bromoacetic acid, and then kept the reaction mixture at 90-95°C for 24 h. After the reaction was completed, the filter residue was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was added to sulfuric acid and continued to stir for 20 min to obtain a solid of product. Its reaction equation is as follows:
(1R,3r,5S)-8-Methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-yl(S)-tropate + NaOH + BrCH2COOH → Atropine bromide
