Features: This book is one of the volumes in the "Handbook of Practical Natural Products." Due to the characteristics of alkaloid natural products, such as their diversity in biological sources, chemical structures, and biological activities, they have gained worldwide attention. This book summarizes the research achievements of biologically active natural alkaloids both domestically and internationally, integrating historical, systematic, and advanced perspectives. The book includes over 700 natural alkaloids, categorized into several major groups such as pyrrolidine alkaloids, scopolamine alkaloids, piperidine alkaloids, quinoline and quinoxaline alkaloids, acridone alkaloids, quazolinone alkaloids, imidazole alkaloids, isquinoline alkaloids, indole alkaloids, purine and xanthine alkaloids, macrocyclic alkaloids, terpenoid alkaloids, steroid alkaloids, and organic amine alkaloids. Each alkaloid entry includes synonyms, structural formulas, molecular formulas, relative molecular weights, physicochemical constants and spectral data, sources, analytical methods, biological activities and toxicity, clinical and practical value, and references. The book is rich in content, well-illustrated, and scientifically rigorous, serving as a valuable reference for researchers active in natural product studies and drug development.
