Atropine:
Its a naturally occurring tropane alkaloid ( Tropane alkaloids are a class of alkaloids and secondary metabolites that contain a tropane ring in their chemical structure) extracted from Deadly Nightshade ( Scientific Name: Atropa belladonna), Jimson weed ( SN: Datura stramonium) and other plants of Solanaceae family.
Scopolamine ( Hyoscine):
Scopolamine, also known as levo-duboisine and hyoscine, is a tropane alkaloid drug with muscarinic antagonist effects. It is among the secondary metabolites of plants from Solanaceae (nightshade) family of plants, such as henbane, jimson weed, Angel's Trumpets (Daturaor Brugmansia), and corkwood (Duboisia).

What is the chemical difference between atropine and hyoscyamine and scopolamine?
From my understanding there is not much of a difference. Atropine and hyoscyamine are isomers of each other but other than their shape position, they are the same. Scopolamine has a chemical structure that is very similar but a little bit different, thus it is mostly recognized in the body as the same chemical as the former two.

Different between atropine and hyoscyamine?
There is not much difference between them. Atropine and Hysocyamine are isomers of each other. Atropine is (+/-) Hyoscyamine, the tropic acid ester of tropine. The naturally occurring alkaloid is (-) Hyocyamine. Thus it can be said that Hyoscyamine is a racemic form of Atropine. In other words, Atropine is a racemic variety of tropine tropate, hysocyamine being the levorotatory enantiomorph of tropine tropate.

Why does atropine effect histamine receptors?
It doesn't atropine only acts on muscarinic receptors (it's a competitive antagonist here for ACh), but histamine acts on different receptors (histamine receptors). There is no direct interaction between atropine and histamine receptors
