scopol-
(skɒˈpɒl)
used Chem. and Pharm. to form names of certain extractive principles obtained from Scopolia Japonica (Japanese belladonna), as scopolenin; † scoˈpoleine [ad. G. scopoleïn (A. Langgaard 1876–80, in Mitth. der Deutsch. Ges. für Natur- und Völkerkunde Ostasiens II. (Beilage III) 267)], a crystalline alkaloid said to have the formula C17H21NO4; scopoletin [ad. F. scopolétine (J. F. Eijkman 1884, in Rec. des Trav. chim. des Pays-Bas III. 171)], 7-hydroxy-6-methoxycoumarin, C10H8O4; ˈscopolin, a glycoside of scopoletin; ˈscopoline, an alkaloid, C8H13NO2, obtained from scopolamine on hydrolysis; also called oscine.
The genus Scopolia was named after Scopoli, an Italian naturalist of the 18th c.
