For all synthesized primin analogues a potent in vitro activity was found against the pathogen Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (IC50 < 0.05 µg/mL). The observed antiprotozoal activity is not related to production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Initial results of the in vivo experiments with a T. b. rhodesiense rodent animal model of the human disease were also reported. Intraperitoneal injection administration of compound 7 resulted in complete clearance of T. b. rhodesiense in tested rodent animals 24 hours after the last treatment.

All of these including alkaloids has been tested for their huge medicinal properties hence, serves as an alternative medicine. Although, through the modern-day technologies, these bioactive compounds are separated from the plants and synthesized into capsules and tablets for easy administration, usage, and storage. The manner of poisoning with plants can be due to unintentional ingestion, affordability, and availability, excess ingestion, improper methods of extraction and purification of plant materials. In some cases, the resultant effect(s) of these poisoning may cause serious illness, injury or even death. Thus, this review gives an overview of the pharmacological importance of named alkaloids, toxicology and methods of extraction and purification of alkaloids in the plant. Furthermore, this review will provide information to researchers to further investigate the medicinal potentials of these alkaloids, help in the development of new drugs for the treatment of various diseases, creates awareness on the side-effects of excess or abuse of medicinal plants and finally encourages rational use of natural resources for sustainability.","PeriodicalId":16365,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medicinal and Chemical Sciences","volume":"174 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86904755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
