Tropine benzilate also known as glipin is an ester formed between tropine and benzilic acid. [1] Like its structural relatives such as atropine and scopolamine, tropine benzilate is considered a muscarinic antagonist, meaning it binds to and blocks muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the nervous system and various tissues.

Contents

The substance was first described in 1936 and was shown to relax smooth muscle and block signals from the vagus nerve. [2] It was also later shown to block stomach acid secretion in dogs. [3]

It is a chemical deliriant similar to two related substances, namely 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate (aka QNB or BZ) and CS-27349. Atropine and scopolamine (c.f. PC12047005) are natural alkaloids with a substantially similar structure to BAT, but differ in that they are formed from tropic acid and not benzilic acid. Tropic acid has a chiral carbon whereas benzilic acid is achiral.

Tropine benzilate is less commonly sold as a tertiary amine, but is usually encountered as the quaternary amine Flutropium bromide. {It is worth making the distinction that although BAT can be used to make Flutropium bromide, one encounters the wrong stereochemistry about the bridgehead nitrogen when employing this method of synthesis. It is unknown what effect this would have on the resultant pharmacology.}

Alpha-stereochemistry is used to make BAT which mimics atropine. Beta-stereochemistry would be more closely expected to mimic tropacocaine, although alpha stereochemistry is stronger.

Further reading

Lednicer teaches that amides are more resistant to metabolic degradation than esters because they are not subject to esterases. However, this was with reference to local anesthetics (e.g. lidocaine) and Antiarrhythmics. Although BAT-amide does not appear in the pubchem database, c.f. QNB-amide. [4] endo-8-Methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-amine has instead found use in the synthesis of a compound that is called SS16. [5] This is made from [3307-39-9] . {While beta-stereochemistry is chemically easier to manufacture, alpha-stereochemistry gives superior pharmacology.}

The ester between tropine and clofibric acid gave rise to a compound that is called SM-25. [5] Many more such agents were described in the patent. A more well characterized compound appearing in the literature is called SM-21. [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] Another one is called PG-9 Fb: [156143-26-9] Maleate salt: [155649-00-6]. [12] [13] [14]

Synthesis

Tropine benzilate may be synthesized by reacting tropine with methyl benzilate in a transesterification reaction. [15]
