Datumetine is a tropane alkaloid found in leaves of Datura metel.^[1] It is said to modulate NMDA receptor and thus causes memory loss.^[2] It also causes epileptic seizures in mice.^[2] Docking studies suggest that it fits on both allosteric and orthosteric sites of NMDA receptor.^[2] It acts together with other anticholinergic tropane alkaloids of datura to cause amnesia.^{[citation needed]}
