Constituents
The huge number of chemical
substances that are present in theplant-kingdom and animal kingdom in
one form or the other are termed asconstituents. These constituents may
be further divided into two main
categories, namely:
(a) Active Constituents, and
(b) Inert Constituents.

Active Constituents
The chemical entities that are solely responsible for
existing pharmacological, microbial or in a broader-
sense therapeutic activities are usually termed as
active constituents. Most drugs like:
alkaloids,glycosides,
steroids,
terpenoids,phenil propanoid
bitter principles are the bonafide members of this
particular category.

Inert Constituents
The chemical compounds, thoughpresent in plant and animal kingdom,
which do not possess anydefinite therapeutic values as such but
are useful as an adjunct either in the
formulation of a drug
or in surgery are collectively known as
inert constituents.

Plant Drugs: The following inert constituents are invariably
present in plants, namely:
Cellulose: Microcrystalline forms of cellulose are used
as combination binderdisintegrants in tabletting. Collodalcellulose particles aid in stabilization and emulsification of
liquid;
Lignin: To precipitate proteins, and to stablise asphalt
emulsions;Suberin: Esters of higher monohydric alcohols and
fatty acids;
Cutin: -do-
Starch: As pharmaceutic aid i.e.; tablet filler, binder
and disintegrant;
Albumin : Soyabean albuminsas emulsifiers;
Colouring Matters : Cochineal for colouring food
products and pharmaceuticals.

(b)Animal Drugs: The under mentioned inert
constituents are mostly present in animals,
namely:Keratin: For coating enteric pills that
are unaffected in the stomach but dissolved
by the alkaline into intestinal secretions;Chitin: Deacylated chitin (chitosan)for
treatment of water; sulphated chitinas
anticoagulant in laboratory animals.

GLIKOSIDA
The Glycosidic Linkages The exact point of linkagebetween the carbohydrate (sugar) and non
carbohydrate (aglycone) moieties is an oxygen
bridge that essentially connects the reducinggroup present in carbohydrate to either an alcoholicor a phenolic group present in the noncarbohydrate.
O-glycosides;
S-glycosides;
N-glycosides;
C-glycosides.

The most acceptable classification of glycosides is based on
the chemical nature of the aglycone moiety present in
them, namely:
(i)Anthracene glycosides(ii) Phenol glycosides
(iii) Steroid glycosides
(iv) Flavonoid glycosides(v) Coumarin and Furanocoumarin glycosides
(vi) Cyonogenetic glycosides
(vii) Thioglycosides(viii) Saponin glycosides
(ix) Aldehyde glycosides
(x) Bitter glycosides

PHENYLPROPANOIDS
Phenylpropanoids represent a large conglomerate of naturally occurring phenolic
compounds essentially derived from the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine and
tyrosine or in certain specific instances the intermediates obtained from Shikimic
Acid Biosynthetic Pathway. In other words, these compounds comprise of a
phenylring to which is attached a 3C-side chain; and may also contain one or more
C6C3 residues.
Interestingly, the unique combination of the phenyl-propane side chain (i.e., 3C-atom)
evidently present in phenylpropanoids are absolutely devoid of nitrogen atom,
which is observed to be in contradiction to such other vital class of natural
products, namely: alkaloids, cyanogenic glycosides, and glucosinolates. Obviously,
the phenylpropanoids are distinctly phenolic in character by virtue of the
presence of one or several hydroxyl groups attached to the aromatic ring (C6 H6),
they are more often known among the phytochemists as plant phenolics.

The phenylpropanoids may be classified on the
basis of their basic chemical moieties as
enumerated below:(i) Hydroxycinnamic Acids
(ii) Phenylpropenes
(iii) Coumarins
(iv) Abridged phenylpropanoids
(v) Biphenylpropenoid derivatives(vi) High molecular weight phenylpropanoids

ALKALOIDS
The alkaloids, as an important and enormously largeconglomerate of naturally occurring nitrogencontainingplant substances having very specific as well as mostdiversified pharmacological properties may be classified in a
number of modes and means.* Salts of Alkaloids: that are used frequently arehydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide perchlorate,nitrate, oxalate and picrate.
Another school of thought classifies alkaloids in the following
four heads, namely:(a) Biosynthetic Classification
(b) Chemical Classification
(c) Pharmacological Classification
(d) Taxonomic
8/10/2019 METABOLIT SEKUNDERg
16/24
(a) Biosynthetic Classification
In this particular instance the significance solely lies to
the precursor from which the alkaloids in question are
produced in the plant biosynthetically. Therefore, it is
quite convenient and also logical to group together all
alkaloids having been derived from the same
precursor but possessing different taxonomicdistribution and pharmacological activities.
Examples
(i) Indole alkaloids derived from tryptophan.
(ii) Piperidine alkaloids derived from lysine.
(iii) Pyrrolidine alkaloids derived from ornithine.
(iv) Phenylethylamine alkaloids derived from tyrosine.
(v) Imidazole alkaloids derived from histidine.
b) h l l f

(b) Chemical Classification
It is probably the most widely accepted and common mode of classification of
alkaloids for which the main criterion is the presence of the basic
heterocyclic nucleus (i.e., the chemical entity).
Examples(i) Pyrrolidine alkaloids e.g., Hygrine;
(ii) Piperidine alkaloids e.g., Lobeline;
(iii) Pyrrolizidine alkaloids e.g., Senecionine;
(iv) Tropane alkaloids e.g.,Atropine;
(v) Quinoline alkaloids e.g., Quinine;(vi) Isoquinoline alkaloids e.g., Morphine;
(vii) Aporphine alkaloids e.g., Boldine;
(viii) Indole alkaloids e.g., Ergometrine;
(ix) Imidazole alkaloids e.g., Pilocarpine;
(x) Diazocin alkaloids e.g., Lupanine;(xi) Purine alkaloids e.g., Caffeine;
(xii) Steroidal alkaloids e.g., Solanidine;
(xiii) Amino alkaloids e.g., Ephedrine;
(xiv) Diterpene alkaloids e.g.,Aconitine.

(c) Pharmacological Classification
Interestingly, the alkaloids exhibit a broad range of very specific
pharmacological characteristics. Perhaps this might also be used as a strong
basis for the general classification of the wide-spectrum of alkaloids derived
from the plant kingdom, such as: analgesics, cardio-vascular drugs, CNS-stimulants and depressants, dilation of pupil of eye, mydriatics,
anticholinergics, sympathomimetics, antimalarials, purgatives, and the like.
However, such a
classification is not quite common and broadly known.
Examples(i) Morphine as Narcotic analgesic;
(ii) Quinine as Antimalarial;
(iii) Strychnine as Reflex excitability;
(iv) Lobeline as Respiratory stimulant;
(v) Boldine as Choleretics and laxatives;(vi)Aconitine as Neuralgia;
(vii) Pilocarpine as Antiglaucoma agent and miotic;
(viii) Ergonovine as Oxytocic;
(ix) Ephedrine as Bronchodilator;
(x) Narceine as Analgesic (narcotic) and antitussive.

(d) Taxonomic Classification
This particular classification essentially deals with the Taxoni.e., the taxonomic
category. The most common taxa are the genus, subgenus, species, subspecies,
and variety. Therefore, the taxonomic classification encompasses the plethora of
alkaloids exclusively based on their respective distribution in a variety of Plant
Families, sometimes also referred to as the Natural order. A few typical
examples of plant families and the various species associated with them are
stated below, namely:
(i) Cannabinaceous Alkaloids: e.g., Cannabis sativa Linn., (Hemp, Marijuana).
(ii) Rubiaceous Alkaloids: e.g., Cinchona Sp. (Quinine); Mitragyna speciosa
Korth (Katum, Kratum, Kutum); Pausinystalia johimbe (K. Schum) (Yohimbe).
(iii) Solanaceous Alkaloids: e.g., Atropa belladona L., (Deadly Nightshade,
Belladona); Brunfelsia uniflorus (Pohl) D. Don (Manaca, Manacan); Capsicum
annuum L., (Sweet Peppers, Paprika); Datura candida (Pers.) Saff.
(Borrachero, Floripondio); Duboisia myoporoides R. Br. (Corkwood Tree,
Pituri); Hyoscyamus niger L. (Henbane, Henblain, Jusquaime); Mandragora
officinarum L. (Mandrake, Loveapple); Nicotiana glauca R. Grah. (Tree
Tobacco); Seopolia carniolica Jacq. (Scopolia); Solanum dulcamara L.,
(Bittersweet, Bitter Nightshade, Felonwood); Withania somniferum (L.)
Dunal (Ashwagandha), etc.

TERPENOIDS
A plethora of naturally occurring plant products have been found to be related
wherein they are comprised of one or more units of isoprene (C5H8Terpenoids are
broadly classified on the basis of the number of isoprene units incorporated into
a specific unsaturated hydrocarbon terpenoid molecule, such as:
(a) Monoterpenoids: These are built up of two isoprene units and have the
molecular formula C10H16;
(b) Sesquiterpenoids: These are composed of three isoprene units and have the
molecular formula C15H24;
(c) Diterpenoids: These are comprised of four isoprene units and have the
molecular formula C20H32;(d) Triterpenoids: These contain six isoprene units and have the molecular
formula C30H48; and
(e) Tetraterpenoids These are made up of eight isoprene units and have the
molecular (or Carotenoids): formula C40H64.
