Two hundred years of scientific research as not yet fully explained the

connections between alkaloids and life, nor has it explained why these

diverse chemicals are produced and degraded by organisms, or why they

have such a very large spectrum of biological activities. Alkaloids are the

products of the life process, and their diversity is similar to the diversity

of life on Earth. Therefore, they can be said to encapsulate the very

secrets of life.

Pyrrolizidine alkaloids are found mainly in

the families Compositae (Asteraceae),

Boraginacea, and Leguminosae, but also

in Apocyanacae, Ranunculacae, and

Scrophulariacae.

The genera Senecio, Eupatorium,

Symphytum, Cynoglossum, Heliotropium,

and Crotalaria contain the species most

frequently associated with human illness.

swainsonine castanospermine

Polyhydroxyindolizidines such as swainsonine and castanospermine have demonstrated activity

against the AIDS virus HIV, by their ability to inhibit glycosidase enzymes involved in glycoprotein

biosynthesis. The glycoprotein coating is essential for the proliferation of the AIDS virus. This has

stimulated considerable research on related structures and their mode of action. The ester 6-O-

butanoylcastanospermine is currently in clinical trials as an anti-AIDS agent.

The Dragendorff Reagent

Two stock solutions are prepared: 0.6 g bismuth subnitrate in 2 mL concentrated

HCl (37% w/v) and 10 mL distilled water, and 6 g potassium iodide in 10 mL

distilled water. These stock solutions are mixed together with 7 mL HCl (37% w/v)

and 15 mL distilled water and diluted to 400 mL with distilled water. Dragendorff

reagent gives orange-brown spots on a yellow background.
