Tropic acid (Tropate) is a chiral substance, existing as either a racemic mixture or as a single enantiomer. Tropate is classified as a beta hydroxy acid or a Beta hydroxy acid derivative. Beta hydroxy acids are compounds containing a carboxylic acid substituted with a hydroxyl group on the C3 carbon atom. Tropate is considered to be soluble (in water) and acidic. Tropate can be synthesized from hydratropic acid and propionic acid. Tropate can be synthesized into tropan-3alpha-yl 3-hydroxy-2-phenylpropanoate. Tropic acid is proposed be used topicaly for the treatment of wrinkles.

Butylscopolamine (trade name Buscopan) is a peripherally acting antimuscarinic, anticholinergic agent. It is a natural substance extracted from Duboisia plant species as Scopolamine (hyoscine) and chemically modified to the quaternary ammonium compound hyoscine butylbromide. It was first registered in Germany in 1951 and marketed in 1952, and is available worldwide both as a prescription drug and as an over-the-counter medicine in many countries. Buscopan is used to treat spasm of the gastrointestinal tract, biliary spasm, renal spasm, diagnostic aid in radiology. In the United States Buscopan approved by FDA to be used in the veterinary medicine only - for the control of abdominal pain associated with spasmodic colic, flatulent colic, and simple impactions in horses. Butylbromide has a high affinity for muscarinic receptors located on the smooth-muscle cells of the GI tract. Its anticholinergic action exerts a smooth-muscle relaxing/spasmolytic effect. Blockade of the muscarinic receptors in the GI tract is the basis for its use in the treatment of abdominal pain secondary to cramping. Hyoscine butylbromide also binds to nicotinic receptors, which induces a ganglion-blocking effect.
