Alkaloids are cyclic organic compounds

containing nitrogen in a negative state of

oxidation with limited distribution among

living organisms.

Distribution and occurrence:• Rare in lower plants.

• Dicots are more rich in alkaloids than

Monocots.

• Families rich in Alkaloids: Apocynaceae,

Rubiaceae, Solanaceae and Papaveracea.

• Families free from Alkaloids: Rosaceae,

Labiatae

Distribution in Plant:

• All Parts e.g. Datura.

• Barks e.g. Cinchona

Seeds e.g. Nux vomica• Roots e.g. Aconite

• Fruits e.g. Black pepper

• Leaves e.g. Tobacco• Latex e.g. Opium

Psychoactive alkaloids

Stimulants Hallucinogens Depressants

Cocaine Tropane alkaloids Morphine

Ephedrine Mescaline Codeine

Caffeine Psilocybin Heroin

Ergot alkaloids (LSD)

Tropane alkaloids

Many of these psychoactive alkaloids

Tropane Alkaloids• They are ester alkaloids resulted from the coupling of

organic acids with amino alcohol (Base). Derived fromtropine and consist of mandelic, tropic or benzoic acidesters of tropine.

• The parent base is the “Tropane” base.

• Tropane Alkaloids are classified into:

1- Solanaceous Tropane Alkaloids.

2- Erythroxylon (Coca) Alkaloids.

1- Solanaceous Tropane Alkaloids

• Occurrence: Atropa, Datura, Hyoscyamus, Duboisia spp.

• Main Alkaloids are:1- Atropine.

2- Hyoscyamine.

3. Hyoscine (Scopolamine).

Atropine & Hyoscyamine

• Hyoscyamine is the major natural alkaloid with negative

optical rotation (l - form).• During extraction hyoscyamine racemizes to the optically

inactive dl Atropine.

• Both alkaloids composed of tropine base and tropic acid.

Hyoscyamine is the major natural alkaloid with

negative optical rotation (l - form).During extraction hyoscyamine racemizes to the

optically inactive dl Atropine.

Both alkaloids composed of tropine base and

tropic acid.

Hyoscyamine

Atropine

• Atropine is a core medicine in the World HealthOrganization's "Essential Drugs List", which is a list ofminimum medical needs for a basic health care

system.• Atropine is a racemic mixture of D-hyoscyamine and

L-hyoscyamine.

• The most common atropine compound used in

medicine is atropine sulfate .• Atropine sulfate Injection, USP

0.1 mg/mI (Adult)0.05 mg/mL (Pediatric)

Pharmacological Action of Atropine

• A mydriatic (causes dilatation of the eye pupil).

• An antispasmodic (relaxes the intestinal and

bronchial smooth muscles).

• A preanesthetic medication to stop body

secretions.

• A CNS stimulant.

• An antidote to organophosphorus insecticides.

Side Effects of Atropine

Adverse reactions to atropine include:

• ventricular fibrillation.

tachycardia.• dizziness.

• nausea.

• blurred vision & dilated pupils• loss of balance, & confusion.

Solanaceous Alkaloids

Natural Source of Atropine & Hyoscine

• Atropine & Hyoscine are tropane alkaloids

extracted from deadly nightshade ( Atropa

belladonna), jimsonweed (Datura

stramonium), Duboisia(Duboisia myobroides),

henbane (hyoscyamus niger & hyoscyamus

muticus) and other plants of the family

Solanaceae.

Hyoscine (Scopolamine)

• Hyoscine is an ester of l -tropic acid with scopoline base.

• Hyoscine is a syrupy liquid.

Chemical tests:

• Vitali-Morin’s test:

Solid alkaloid + fuming HNO3 → Evaporate to dryness, dissolveresidue in acetone, add methanolic solution of KOH → Violet

colour.

• P-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde:

Alkaloid + reagent in porcelain dish and heat on boiling water path→ Intense Red Colour → Cherry Red after cooling.

• Gerrard’s test:

Alkaloid + 2% HgCl2 in 50% Ethanol →

Red colour Atropine

Red after warming Hyoscyamine

White ppt Hyoscine

Pharmacological actions and uses:

The three Alkaloids are anticholinergic agents:

• Decrease saliva and GIT secretions so used preoperative.• Decrease motility of smooth muscles so used as antispasmodics.

• Stimulate respiratory system.

• A mydriatic (causes dilatation of the eye pupil).

• An antidote to organophosphorus insecticides.

• Hyoscine has more central effect so it is sedative and hypnotic.

• Hyoscine is mainly used as antiemetic.

Synthetic and Semisynthetic Derivatives:

• Homatropine:

Synthetic drug prepared by passing HCl gas in a mixture of tropinebase and mandelic acid in the presence of water.

Homatropine is less toxic than Atropine. It is hypnotic in small

doses. Homatropine is used as Mydriatic with shorter effect thanAtropine.

NCH3 O

• Hyoscine butyl bromide:

Quaternary Semisynthetic derivative of Hyscine.

It is used as antispasmodic and antiemetic.

NCH3 O

2- Erythroxylon (Coca) Alkaloids

• Occurrence:Coca leaves contain about 2% total alkaloids.

•Main Alkaloids are:1- Cocaine.

2- Cinnamylcocaine.

3. a- truxilline.

• The base for Coca Alakloid is called “Ecogonine”

H3C OH

Ecogonine

Erythroxylon cocca

• It is the major Alkaloid in Coca leaves.

• Cocaine is diester Alkaloid.

• Heating at 160 0C in conc. HCl leads to hydrolyses of

cacaine to MeOH, Benzoic acid and Ecogonine base.

NCH3 O

Benzoic acid

Ecgonine base

Cocaine

Production of Cocaine commercially:

• The total Alkaloids are hydrolysed to obtain the free base.

• The base is then Methylated with HCl in MeOH.

• The Methylated base is then esterified with Benzoly chloride.

Cinnamylcocaine

NCH3 O

Cinnamic acid

Ecgonine base

• Uses:

Cocaine was used as local anesthetic.

Cocaine has a CNS stimulant activity so is oneof the widely abused drugs.
