(a)
Interpretation:
Natural source and a medicinal use of morphine should be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Alkaloids are naturally occurring
E.g. Morphine has analgesic properties, Cocaine has stimulant properties, quinine has antimalarial properties, etc.
Chemical structure of morphine is shown below.
(b)
Interpretation:
Natural source and a medicinal use of quinine should be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Alkaloids are naturally occurring amines derived from plant sources. In general, all alkaloids are bitter in taste. Many alkaloids show pharmacological properties.
E.g. Morphine has analgesic properties, Cocaine has stimulant properties, quinine has antimalarial properties, etc.
Chemical structure of quinine is shown below.
(c)
Interpretation:
Natural source and a medicinal use of atropine should be stated.
Concept Introduction:
