Datumetine
Chemical compound
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Datumetine is a tropane alkaloid found in leaves of Datura metel.[1] It is said to modulate NMDA receptor and thus causes memory loss.[2] It also causes epileptic seizures in mice.[2] Docking studies suggest that it fits on both allosteric and orthosteric sites of NMDA receptor.[2] It acts together with other anticholinergic tropane alkaloids of datura to cause amnesia.[citation needed]
