生物碱
生物碱（英语：alkaloid）是一种天然存在的含氮碱性化合物。一些人工合成但结构类似的化合物有时也被称作生物碱。除了碳、氢、氮，生物碱也可以含有氧、硫、氯、溴、磷等元素。[2] 生物碱与其它含氮碱性化合物之间的分界并不明确，但氨基酸、核苷酸及胺类物质通常不被称作生物碱。
生物碱在人或动物体内产生药理反应。虽然大部份的生物碱对人体有毒，但有些也能入药，起镇痛或麻醉的作用，以吗啡及可待因尤为重要。生物碱大都是氨基酸衍生物，尝起来有苦涩味，是植物（如马铃薯、蕃茄、罂粟）、动物（如贝类）、细菌和真菌等多种生命体的次生代谢物。通过对生物体的粗提取物进行酸碱萃取纯化，可以获得大部份的生物碱。
发现史
自古以来，人类就将含有生物碱的植物用于治疗和娱乐。
例如，早在公元前 2000 年左右，美索不达米亚就已发现药用植物[3]。[30] 荷马（作家）的奥德赛提到了埃及女王送给海伦的礼物，一种带来遗忘的药物。
据信，这份礼物是一种含有鸦片的药物[4]。一本写于公元前一至三世纪的中国室内植物书籍提到了麻黄和罂粟的医疗用途[5]。此外，古柯叶自古以来就被南美原住民使用。
含有有毒生物碱（例如乌头碱和管箭毒碱）的植物提取物自古以来就被用于毒箭[3]。
生物碱的研究始于 19 世纪。
1804年，德国化学家弗里德里希·瑟图纳从鸦片中分离出一种“催眠原理”（拉丁语：principium somniferum），他将其称为“吗啡”，指的是希腊梦神墨菲斯； 在德语和其他一些中欧语言中，这仍然是该药物的名称。 “吗啡”一词在英语和法语中使用，由法国物理学家盖-吕萨克提出。
法国研究人员皮埃尔-佩尔提埃和约瑟夫·卡旺图在生物碱发展的早期对化学做出了重大贡献，他们发现了奎宁 (1820年) 和士的宁 (1818年)。
大约在同一时期还发现了其他几种生物碱，包括黄嘌呤（1817年）、阿托品（1819年）、咖啡因（1820年）、可尼碱（1827年）、尼古丁（1828年）、秋水仙碱（1833年）、金雀花碱（1851年）和可卡因（1860年）。
20 世纪光谱和色谱方法的出现加速了生物碱化学的发展，到 2008 年已鉴定出超过 12,000 种生物碱[6]。
1886 年，德国化学家阿尔伯特·拉登堡首次完成了生物碱的合成。 他通过2-甲基吡啶与乙醛反应并用钠还原生成的2-丙烯基吡啶来生产乌头碱[7]。
