Alkaloids are nitrogen containing chemical compounds. They are naturally accuring in a wide range of plants and other organisms (secondary metabolites) and they have often pharmacological effects.
Chemically, the alkaloids organic are chemical compounds that can be structured very differently and exercise quite different functions in nature. A chemical classification is often on hand of the basic molecular structure, such as a particular ring system. Another classification is based on the occurrence in nature of (ergot alkaloids). Biochemically these natural substances are secondary metabolites.
