About alkaloids
Alkaloids are nitrogen-containing natural products, mostly from plants. The group covers purine alkaloids such as caffeine, theobromine and theophylline, tobacco alkaloids such as nicotine, cinchona alkaloids such as quinine and quinidine, berberine, capsaicin, piperine, atropine and scopolamine, colchicine, vinca alkaloids, ergot alkaloids, and the opium alkaloids morphine, codeine and thebaine.

Some alkaloids are traded in large volumes, for example caffeine for beverages and pharmaceuticals and quinine for tonic water and malaria treatment. Others are potent APIs or intermediates that need tight control. Natural extraction competes with synthesis for several products, and natural caffeine from tea or coffee decaffeination commands a premium.
Many alkaloids are toxic at low doses, and several are controlled under international drug conventions, including opium alkaloids, cocaine, ephedrine and ergot alkaloids used as precursors. CompoundList restricts trade in controlled substances to licensed parties. For other alkaloids, ask for purity by HPLC, related alkaloids, residual solvents, heavy metals, origin and the grade. Alkaloids fall under HS heading 2939.
