Study Notes
Alkaloids
- Capsaicin is an alkaloid that does not have nitrogen in a heterocyclic ring.
- Pseudo alkaloids are a type of alkaloid that do not arise from amino acids, and glycyrrhizin is an example of a pseudo alkaloid.
- A false alkaloid is an alkaloid that does not arise from amino acids, and capsaicin is an example of a false alkaloid.
- Alkaloids can be derived from various sources including plants, animals, and microorganisms.
Classification of Alkaloids
- Protoalkaloids are a type of alkaloid derived from amino acids, and colchicine is an example of a protoalkaloid.
- Typical alkaloids are derived from amino acids and have nitrogen in a heterocyclic ring, and atropine is an example of a typical alkaloid.
- Quaternary alkaloids are a type of alkaloid, and choline is an example of a quaternary alkaloid.
