Used as a research chemical in pharmacological studies; a tropane alkaloid found in certain Erythroxylum species (coca family) and some Solanaceae plants; acts as a local anesthetic and has been investigated for its potential effects on dopamine reuptake as a reuptake inhibitor, though it is less potent than cocaine; also used in studies of structure-activity relationships of tropane-based compounds.
