III) VOLATILE OILS i.e. TERPENES & TERPENOIDS:Also called as essential oil refers characteristic scent that develops the exalted
feeling after in inhaling the fragrance.(A) Hydrodistillation - 4 methods of isolation are:
Method - 1 :Water distillation
Plant material at the bottom of container
![Page 8: Extraction of Phytoconstituent](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081816/551fcceb4979592e5b8b5007/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Method -2 : Water & steam distillation
Plant material lodged on perforated grid or screen
Incontact with steam
Decomposition of oil less
yield of volatile oil more.
Method ;- 3 : Steam distillation
Plant material Peoforated supported on grid coils placed below grid
Oils/Perfumes
* Condition1. High pressure : Volatile oil likes to decompose (hydrolysis of ester)2. Reduced presssure : Oils containing ester3. Superheated steam distillation: Chemically stable compound.
Method - 4: Distillation per Se (terpentine)
Plant material Org solvent/alcohol
Resin remain is molten form and Support separation of less volatile fraction
![Page 9: Extraction of Phytoconstituent](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081816/551fcceb4979592e5b8b5007/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Extraction of volatile oils is mainly done by means of "Clevenger apparatus.
DETERMINATION OF PERCENTAGE OF VOLATILE OIL IN DRUGS
Setting of the apparatus:
Apparatus for the determination of volatile oil in drugs consist of(i) A round- bottom 1 litre boiling flask(ii) A special still head.Still head contains:(i) Condenser (ii) receiver (iii) return tube.A side tube is also attached to introduce water in the graduated tube and return tube
The official method for the estimation of volatile oil in a crude drug is hydro-distillation based on distilling the drug with water and distillate is collected in the graduated tube, from which the aqueous portion of the distillate automatically returns to distillation flask.
Better results are obtained with some drugs by using 150 ml each of glycerine and water in place of pure after in the boiling flask. This modification should be used for dill, coriander, cloves, fennel and dried orange peel.
When the oil is heavier than water (e.g. clove oil) a known volume of xylene is added to the graduated tube by a pipette which is passed through the side-tube of the still head. The increase in volume of xylene gives volume of oil distilled.
Procedure:(i) Take 10 to 20g of powdered drug with 250 to 300 ml of water in distillation flask. Add a few pieces of porcelain to it (to avoid bumping during distillation)(ii) Set up the apparatus as represented in the figure.(iii) Fill the tubes (receiver and return tube) with water by introducing it at side tube by means of a pipette. Close the side tube.(iv) For heating the flask - Bunsen burner and asbestos filled wire gauge or heating mantle can be used.(v) Lift the flask at intervals and shake the contents, until the liquid is boiling steadily. Finally, adjust the flame so that the distillate in the graduated tube remains cold. Continue heating till no more oil collects . (This requires two hours or more).(vi) Turn out the gas and allow the liquid in the condenser to drain for five or ten minutes then read the volume of oil.
Express the result as a volume in weight percentage.

Alkaloid:Definition: the term “alkaloid” (alkali-like) is commonly used to designate basic heterocyclic nitrogenous compounds of plant origin that are physiologically active.
Deviation from Definition:
![Page 14: Extraction of Phytoconstituent](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081816/551fcceb4979592e5b8b5007/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Basicity: Some alkaloids are not basic. e.g. Colchicine,Piperine, Quaternary alkaloids.
Nitrogen: The nitrogen in some alkaloids is not in a heterocyclic ring e.g. Ephedrine, Colchicine, and Mescaline.
Plant Origine: Some alkaloids are derived from Bacteria, Fungi, Insects, Frogs, and Animals.
Or,According to Landenberg "Alkaloids are defined as natural plant compounds that have a basic character and contain at least one nitrogen atom in a heterocyclic ring and having biological activities."
Or,According to characteristic features “Alkaloids are basic nitrogenous plant origin, mostly optically active & possessing nitrogen hetero cycles as there structural units with physiological action.”
Distribution and occurrence:
Rare in lower plants. Dicots are richer 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
Forms of Alkaloids:
Free bases Salts with Organic acids e.g. Oxalic, acetic acids
![Page 15: Extraction of Phytoconstituent](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081816/551fcceb4979592e5b8b5007/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Salts with inorganic acids e.g. HCl, H2SO4. Salts with special acids: e.g. Meconic acid in Opium,
Quinic acid in Cinchona. Glycosidal form e.g. Solanine in Solanum.
Function in Plants:
They may act as protective against insects and herbivores due to their bitterness and toxicity.
They are, in certain cases, the final products of detoxification (waste products).
Source of nitrogen in case of nitrogen deficiency. They, sometimes, act as growth regulators in certain metabolic
systems. They may be utilized as a source of energy in case of deficiency in
carbon dioxide assimilation.
Properties of AlkaloidsPhysical Properties:
Physical form or Nature: Most alkaloids are crystalline solids. Few alkaloids are amorphous solids e.g. emetine. Some are liquids that are either:
Volatile e.g. nicotine and coniine, or Non-volatile e.g. pilocarpine and hyoscine.
Color: The majority of alkaloids are colorless but some are colored
e.g.:Colchicine and berberine are yellow. Canadine is orange. The salts of sanguinarine are copper-red.
Solubility:
Both alkaloidal bases and their salts are soluble in alcohol. Generally, the bases are soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in
water Exceptions :
Bases soluble in water: caffeine, ephedrine, codeine, colchicines, pilocarpine and quaternary ammonium bases.
![Page 16: Extraction of Phytoconstituent](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081816/551fcceb4979592e5b8b5007/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Bases insoluble or sparingly soluble in certain organic solvents: morphine in ether, theobromine and theophylline in benzene.
Isomerization: Optically active isomers may show different physiological activities.
L-ephedrine is 3.5 times more active than d-ephedrine. L-ergotamine is 3-4 times more active than d-ergotamine. D- Tubocurarine is more active than the corresponding L- form. Quinine (l-form) is antimalarial and its d- isomer quinidine is
antiarrythmic. The racemic (optically inactive) dl-atropine is physiologically
active.
Chemical Properties: Alkaloid is basic in nature because of lone pair of electron on nitrogen atom.
Nitrogen: Primary amines R-NH2 e.g. Nor ephedrine Secondary amines R2-NH e.g. Ephedrine Tertiary amines R3-N e.g. Atropine Quaternary ammonium salts R4-N e.g. d-Tubocurarine
Basicity: R2-NH > R-NH2 > R3-N Saturated hexacyclic amines are more basic than aromatic
amines. According to Basicity Alkaloids are classified into:
Weak bases e.g. Caffeine Strong bases e.g. Atropine Amphoteric e.g. Morphine Neutral alkaloids e.g. Colchicines
Oxygen: Most alkaloids contain Oxygen and are solid in nature e.g.
Atropine. Some alkaloids are free from Oxygen and are mostly liquids
e.g. Nicotine, Coniine. Stability:
Effect of heat: Alkaloids are decomposed by heat, except Strychnine and caffeine (sublimable).
![Page 17: Extraction of Phytoconstituent](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081816/551fcceb4979592e5b8b5007/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Reaction with acids: Salt formation. 2- Dilute acids hydrolyze Ester Alkaloids e.g. Atropine
Conc. acids may cause: Dehydration:
Atropine → Apoatropine Morphine → Apomorphine
Effect of Alkalies: Dilute alkalis liberate most alkaloids from their salts e.g.
NH3. They may cause Isomerization (racemization) of
alkaloid as the conversion of Hyoscyamine to atropine. Strong alkalis: such as aqueous NaOH and KOH form
salts with phenolic alkaloids. Strong alkalis cause hydrolysis of Ester alkaloids
(e.g. atropine, cocaine and physostigmine) and Amide alkaloids (colchicines).
Strong alkalis cause opening of lactones ring.
