MODERN ALKALOIDS

Alkaloids constitute one of the widest classes of natural products, being synthesized


practically by all phyla of both marine and terrestrial organisms, at any evolutionary

level. The extraordinary variety (and often complexity) of alkaloid structures and

biological properties have long intrigued natural product chemists (for structure

determination and biosynthetic studies), analytical chemists, and synthetic organic

chemists. Toxicologists, pharmacologists and pharmaceutical companies have used

and will certainly continue to use alkaloids as biological tools and/or as lead

compounds for development of new drugs.
