drugs containing alkaloids Flashcards
Based on their basic character and solubility profiles.
extraction
Nitrogenous organic molecule that has a pharmacological effect on humans and animals
alkaloids
These alkaloids can also be derived from nonamino acid precursors.
pseudoalkaloids
The alkaloids isolated from plants of these families, while having several legitimate medicinal uses, are probably best known for their toxic properties.
tropane alkaloids
Derived from an amino acid is not a part of the heterocyclic.
protoalkaloids
These are also known as heterocyclic alkaloids and contain nitrogen in heterocyclic ring system.
typical alkaloid
These are also known as nonheterocyclic alkaloids and contain nitrogen in aliphatic chain.
atypical alkaloids
Alkaloids are generally classified by their common molecular precursors, based on the biological pathway used to construct the molecule.
classification
Alkaloids have a bitter taste and appear as a white solid, except nicotine which has a brown liquid.
true alkaloids
The collected powdered material is extracted with water or aqueous alcohol containing dilute acid.
method b
A CLASS OF COMPOUNDS WHICH TYPICALLY CONTAIN NITROGEN AND HAVE COMLEX RING STRUCTURES

ARE COMMONLY FOUND IN PLANTS OF THREE FAMILIES, SOLANACEAE, ERYTHROXYLACEAE, AND CONVOLVULACEAE FAMILIES.
