Abstract
Natural products and their derivatives have been used for medical purposes for many years. Plants are the main source of new medicinal compounds, since herbal medicines are widely used to maintain and improve human health. The main advantages of using herbal medicines are that they are relatively safe compared to synthetic alternatives, providing profound therapeutic benefits and accessibility. Over the past 30 years, the process of finding and developing medicines, especially natural products, has increasingly been carried out in template ways. According to the data, alkaloid plants began to be used since 2000 BC throughout Asia, Europe and Africa. In the nineteenth century, Friedrich Serturner isolated morphine. This led to the successful isolation and discovery of individual compounds by several European scientists, including the secretion of xanthine, strychnine, atropine, quinine and caffeine [1].Alkaloids were initially identified as alkaline substances secreted by a plant with biological activity. This definition has been repeatedly refined to define compounds that do not belong to the plant kingdom, and compounds that have a biosynthetic origin in common with alkaloids, but do not contain basic nitrogen.
