About this plant
All parts of Atropa belladonna contain atropine, a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist first isolated by Heinrich Mein in 1831. The name belladonna, meaning beautiful lady, derives from Renaissance Venetian women who applied berry juice to dilate pupils. Linnaeus named it Atropa after Atropos, the Greek Fate who severs the thread of life.
