in plants, animals and fungi, developed for defense, characterized by high physiological activity". This narrows the definition sufficiently from "natural products". In this sense the common amino acids would not be alkaloids, but "domoic acid" would be. Colchicine, piperine and capsaicin would be. The concept is a practical one, I want readers to find things where they expect them, and where they find them in scientific literature. The concept is not only a practical one but also a historical one. The line I follow here is historically founded, I don't want a new but incompatible definition, but we will do what the majority of literature does, even if it appears sloppy. After all the concept of alkaloids was introduced historically, to cover the active nitrogen containing plant substances after they were investigated, it is an ad hoc approach to nomenclature of already existing discoveries, and of a developing topic. If the books count piperine and colchicine as alkaloids, then we do too.

that the opium alkaloids are grouped in the benzylisoquinolines because of their biogenic origin, but this is unclear (they say "opium alkaloids are included in this group", and from the preceding sentence it appears that by "group" they mean the benzylisoquinolines). So this is not very useful, as it does not establish a clear hierarchy in nomenclature. Again, phenanthrene alkaloids strikes me as an outdated classification, based on structure and biological activity only, but having said that, I am well aware that this would also need a proper ref. Hence my earlier suggestion to scan the literature for the most common classification of the opium-type and other benzylisoquinoline alkaloids.

pathway AND pharmacological action. The isoflavones, in contrast, have no such close structural relation to the estrogens and no common biosynthetic pathway with the estrogens. There are also synthetic opioids, which have no close relation to the phenanthrene alkaloids, sometimes also called morphinans, and there are many synthetic opioids built around the morphinan skeleton. The structure-activity relationships of morphine like alkaloids and their synthetic derivatives are very well investigated for 100 years. Alone the importance of the morphinan backbone for semisynthetic and synthetic analgetic substances justifies grouping them from the other benzylisoquinoline alkaloids.See
313: 1048:
Reserpine and yohimbine have no more relation to beta-carbolines than to simple tryptamines. They'd better be listed as a separate subgroup amongst other indoles, possibly "Yohimbans". Mytraginine has also much similarity to that particular structure. Vinca alkaloids are too indolic, so why not place them as a sub to indoles? Same about Strychnine and Ibogaine, they deserve a mention as structurally unrelated Indoles. And also, capsaicin is not an alkaloid at all, it's a vanilloid, not an amine (it's rather an amide) and thus not basic. Correct me if I'm wrong.
1765:, pages 1-5 (it's also readable on amazon.com, where I could read pages 5 and 6, which I couldn't read on Google books). The good thing about these pages is that they quote several definitions from the 19th and 20th centuries and compare them. Some focused on the plant origin, some on the basicity, some on the heterocyclic rings, but there were always exceptions. The vague definition that the author ends up proposing is "nitrogen-containing organic substances of natural origin with a greater or lesser degree of basic character". -- 257: 233: 2122:
it states the morphine and alike alkaloids as phenanthrene alkaloids and as derived from benzylisoquinoline by biosynthetic pathway. They are actually benzylisoquinoline alkaloids by biosynthesis, phenanthrene and morphinan alkaloids as a subgroup. The situation may be similar to the carboline alkaloids, which are also indole alkaloids. If this recent ref treats them as phenanthrene alkaloids, then I don't care if this is maybe a bit outdated. We don't need to know this better than they do.

and not by someone's conservative interpretation of what should "strictly" be called an alkaloid. If "alkaloid" is widely used in scientific literature to describe nitrogen-containing bases that have been found in animals or fungi but not (or not yet) in plants, then I think those chemicals are alkaloids. This usage might be considered mildly controversial by some, which is worth noting, but I don't think we're justified in implying it's not "strictly" correct.

activity, but it is non-basic, structurally unsophisticated, and not directly derived from an amino acidic precursor. On the other hand, the lack of attributes such as basicity, complexity, and an ā€œamino acidic pedigreeā€ can also be found in compounds commonly perceived as alkaloids. Thus, colchicine is neutral, ephedrine is structurally unsophisticated, and the nitrogen atom of the potato alkaloid solanine is not derived from an amino acid .
1344:). And there's the kiss of death to any serious definition in the ominous phrase "...are not normally regarded as alkaloids..." How do we define normal...? So if even IUPHAR chokes on that it goes to show defining alkaloids in way that makes pharmacologists and everybody else happy is a big toad indeed. Thus, I agree with you that the issue of definition is contentious and that this should probably have a place in this entry. Thanks! 1327:
field of natural products, so I'm quite cognizant of different opinions on the matter of how to define or categorize such compounds. For example, you're referring to a definition given by IUPHAR, thus one that comes from a pharmacology point of view. That's all very well but also a bit of a tweak. For example, IUPHAR's definition (nearly) excludes peptides; yet as biochemists familiar with secondary metabolism will tell you,
530: 2035:
quinolines is outdated, since the common biosynthetic origin of all of the benzylisoquinolines is now well established. It is also seems slightly inaccurate in that phenanthrene is a tricyclic aromatic compound, whereas morphine is a tetracyclic one with only one aromatic ring. It would be advantageous to find a recent reference that discusses this, but it'll probably take some digging.
740:
alkaloid suffix might not be the best practice though, as many synthetic amines end in "ine" (e.g. drugs with names ending in "amine" or "-caine"). The use of "-in" would be good to document also. Names with "-in", when they occur, seem to be applied to alkaloids discovered in animals (bufotenin aka bufotenine) or fungi (psilocybin), but I think "-ine" may even be more common.--

nitrogen atom. Compounds that fall into this category and are well characterized and widely known, such as amino acids or nucleotides, could rightly also be called alkaloids, but to do so would goes against common usage, as laymen and experts alike usually call them by their rightful names. Natural products encompass a myriad of other non-alklaloid compounds, such as
2054: 1264:"Basic nitrogen compounds (mostly heterocyclic) occurring mostly in the plant kingdom (but not excluding those of animal origin). Amino acids, peptides, proteins, nucleotides, nucleic acids, amino sugars and antibiotics are not normally regarded as alkaloids.

Returning to the question in the title of this section, capsaicin does not fall into any of the three classic types of nitrogen-bearing plant natural products, being neither a true alkaloid, a protoalkaloid, or a pseudoalkaloid. Capsaicin is of limited distribution in Nature and shows pharmacological

I think a historical perspective is also welcome in this century old topic; insofar a text book from the 40's would be fine. 90% of the materials is quite a bit dated, as the research of plant alkaloids has been a focus of pharmacology already 100 years ago. Think of the malaria research etc. and the

One comment about the IUPAC Gold Book reference. I love the Gold Book and cite it a lot, but we should remember what it is: basically a collation of glossaries. IMHO, glossaries are meant to be useful for reference by providing a quick definition that is good enough, but should not be interpreted as

Please take also a look at the other ref I have given above, which is a modern teaching book, and what definition it uses. I am also not sure if the IUPHAR definition is strict and trustworthy, indeed what does "normally" mean. And are the pharmacologists competent for providing a definition, or is
912:
The wording of the first sentence seems to suggest that the "strict" definition (must be found in plants) is the most correct somehow, but the third sentence suggests that this interpretation was predated by a much broader one (any nitrogen-containing base). My feeling is that we should go by usage

Itub provided a very useful reference, which could certainly be incorporated into the article, and I agree with him (and Ed). As for the specific cases of piperine and capsaicin, let me quote directly from a recent book I found, after 70.137 asked my opinion back in August and I told him I'd never

To give my two cents in this debate, I'd suggest to go with common usage, which is indeed rather loose and often in the eye of the beholder. The term "alkaloid" is one given to a compound to categorize it in the broadest sense, mainly by dint of its being an organic compound with at least one
739:
I think noting that many trivial names for alkaloids end in "-ine" is probably uncontroversial enough to be added without a source, although sourcing it would be preferable. We could say something like "many alkaloids have names ending in -amine or simply -ine" for example. Calling "-ine" the

Thats exactly what "Pictet, The vegetable alkaloids, 1906, 1896" says. Formation of salts with strong mineral acids. Also formation of salts ("double salts") with Platinum chloride and others like that. Same for "Henry, The plant alkaloids, 1947". So we may conclude piperine is rightfully an

I think that numeric data may shed some light on this question. The pKa of piperine is reported to be 1.98 (see the ref. I added to the article). With that pKa, it should be possible to protonate it with a strong acid and form a salt. Piperine turned out to be more basic than caffeine!
1629:
You (or that outdated source) might have confused hydrolysis with salt formation. Piperine does not form salts (at least under normal conditions). Also, randomly citing books on alkaloids that merely mention certain compounds is not convincing. Find current and explicit definitions.

1341: 1754:! (Something on which we have, sadly, spent too much time.) There is no unique definition and the distinction is blurry and arbitrary. You will always find some compounds that are called alkaloids by some authors and not by others. The article should reflect this reality. 1973:
