==Background==
Atropine is more widely used medically than scopolamine and is included in the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. Additionally, ''Atropa bella-donna'' is the most widely naturalized and commonly found wild among tropane alkaloid–producing Solanaceae plants in many regions worldwide.

The extraction process requires the use of advanced laboratory equipment to ensure both effectiveness and safety. Atropa bella-donna primarily contains atropine, but also significant amounts of other tropane alkaloids, including hyoscyamine and scopolamine. It is challenging to selectively isolate atropine from scopolamine and hyoscyamine due to their similar chemical properties.
