    Medical use of alkaloid-containing plants has a long history, and, thus, when the first alkaloids were isolated in the 19th century, they immediately found application in clinical practice. [206] Many alkaloids are still used in medicine, usually in the form of salts widely used including the following: [ 14 ] [ 207 ]

    It has been argued that "the use of natural products has been the single most successful strategy in the discovery of novel medicines". [ 3 ] Plants need to defend themselves from attack by micro-organisms, in particular fungi, and they do this by producing anti-fungal chemicals that are toxic to fungi.

  4. Lycorine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycorine

    Lycorine has many derivatives used for anti-cancer research such as lycorine hydrochloride (LH) which is a novel anti-ovarian cancer agent, and data has shown that LH effectively inhibited mitotic proliferation of Hey1B cells with very low toxicity. This drug could be used for effective anti-ovarian cancer therapy in the future. [16]

    Yohimbine is just one of at least 55 indole alkaloids that have been isolated from the bark; [7] and, while it has been described as the most active of these, [8] it constitutes only 15% of the total alkaloid content. [9] Others include rauwolscine, corynanthine and ajmalicine; [9] the bark also contains non-alkaloids about which virtually ...

  7. Bufotoxin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bufotoxin

    Some authors have also used the term bufotoxin to describe the conjugate of a bufagin with suberylarginine. [4] The toxic substances found in toads can be divided by chemical structure in two groups: bufadienolides, which are cardiac glycosides (e.g., bufotalin, bufogenin), are undesirable compounds that may be fatal if consumed.

  8. Ephedra (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephedra_(medicine)

    The use of ephedrine alkaloids in this study was associated with significant gastrointestinal, psychiatric, and autonomic side effects. [36] Almost simultaneously, a study in Annals of Internal Medicine found that ephedrine alkaloids were 100 to 700 times more likely to cause a significant adverse reaction than other commonly used supplements ...

    Codeine is used to treat mild to moderate pain. [4] It is commonly used to treat post-surgical dental pain. [13]Weak evidence indicates that it is useful in cancer pain, but it may have increased adverse effects, especially constipation, compared to other opioids. [14]
