Hindu concept of 'Alkaloid'
From: Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences
(1) Alkaloids, identified through Dragendorff’s test, are compounds with a bitter taste and various pharmacological activities, including antimalarial, analgesic, and muscle relaxant effects.[1] (2) Alkaloids are one of the phytoconstituents that have been isolated and identified from different parts of Lepidagathias Crisata.[2] (3) Eucalyptus has rich sources of phytochemical constituents which contain flavonoids, these, tannin and propanoids.[3] (4) These compounds basically contain nitrogen ring structure and differentiated on the basis of their structural characteristics.[4] (5) A chemical constituent that was tested for in the leaves.[5]

(1) Alkaloids are among the phytochemicals found in the alcoholic extract of Passiflora foetida, potentially contributing to its medicinal properties, such as its use in treating hysteria.[6] (2) The preliminary phytochemical study of the seed indicated the presence of alkaloids, which are one of the components present in the plant.[7] (3) Alkaloid, a phytochemical found in Sida acuta, was detected in varying levels in the leaf, stem, and root, with the highest concentration found in the leaf extract.[8] (4) A kind of bioactive compound found in B. buxifolia aerial part.[9] (5) Naturally occurring organic compounds containing basic nitrogen atoms, found in Bauhinia purpurea and often associated with medicinal properties.[10]
From: International Research Journal of Ayurveda and Yoga
(1) A phyto compound found in Pathyadi Ghana Vati during phytochemical analysis.[11] (2) Plants with high concentrations of these components could become poisonous, even despite having medical properties.[12] (3) It is a phytochemical constituent present in Jwaramurari Rasa, potentially contributing to its immunomodulatory and free radical scavenging activities.[13] (4) Phytochemical constituent screened to detect the presence or absence of in samples of Vaasa.[14] (5) These are organic compounds found in the drug, identified as present during phytochemical analysis.[15]
The concept of Alkaloid in scientific sources
Alkaloids, according to the text, are nitrogen-containing organic compounds primarily found in plants. They possess diverse pharmacological activities and therapeutic potential, often exhibiting effects such as anti-inflammatory, anti-parasitic, and antidiarrhoeal properties. They are detected through various methods and are key components in traditional medicine.
From: International Journal of Pharmacology
(1) S. jollyanum is rich in these, particularly in the leaves and roots, and saponins were not present.[16] (2) These are a class of nitrogenous organic compounds. Many studies have revealed that these possess potent anti-lung cancer properties.[17] (3) One of the things the leaves of Z. capense contain.[18] (4) The plant Aspilia africana has been reported to contain this compound, along with flavonoids, triterpenes, saponins and tannins.[19] (5) The preliminary phytochemical screening of the plant extract identified the presence of alkaloids, tannins, saponins, glycosides, flavonoids and carbohydrates.[20]
From: Asian Journal of Pharmaceutics
(1) These are among the compounds detected in the qualitative analysis of the formulation.[21] (2) Preliminary phytochemical studies revealed the presence of saponins, sterols, mucilage, glycosides, and alkaloids, steroidal saponins in both the extracts.[22] (3) These are contained in F. cretica, along with cardiac glycosides, saponins, and coumarins.[23] (4) A class of metabolites that are toxic to arthropods, produced constitutively or induced by herbivore damage.[24] (5) These are found in M. charantia (Karela).[25]
From: Journal of Medicinal Plants for Economic Development
(1) are nitrogen-containing compounds found in plants, whose accumulation in S. dolomitica was favored by mild to moderate water deficit levels.[26] (2) A class of organic compounds identified in DF, that Aurantiamide belongs to.[27] (3) Alkaloids were tested by stirring a sample in HCl, filtering, and mixing the filtrate with Wagner's reagent and Dragendorff's reagent, observing for turbidity.[28] (4) The presence of alkaloids, along with glycosteroids, in the plant might suppress appetite and induce satiety through modifying gut hormones and cholecystokinin resulting in a reduction in food and energy intake.[29] (5) A group of phytochemicals that can be found in the extracts of the plants, which are present in the functional group region.[30]
From: Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research
(1) These are a class of nitrogen-containing compounds found in plants, some of which are poisonous, according to the text.[31] (2) These are important natural products found in Sceletium tortuosum, representing a significant class of compounds that can potentially treat parasitic infections.[32] (3) The phytochemical screening of the DCM fraction showed a blue-violet fluorescence, indicating the presence of this compound, which is a key finding.[33] (4) These are naturally occurring compounds, often with pharmacological effects, that were investigated in the study.[34]
From: The Malaysian Journal of Medical Sciences
