Atropine is a naturally occurring compound found in several plants of the nightshade family. It is used to treat specific cases of nerve agent and pesticide poisoning, as well as certain forms of bradycardia (slow heart rate). Atropine acts as a competitive and reversible antagonist of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.
