“…Furthermore, although it is unusual to find other types of alkaloids in this family, if present, they are always accompanied by typical Amaryllidaceae alkaloids. The classical example is the reported presence of the mesembrane (Sceletium) alkaloids, generally found in the Aizoaceae family [6,7], in a few species of Amaryllidaceae such as Hymenocallis arenicola, Crinum oliganthum, Narcissus pallidulus and Narcissus triandrus [8][9][10]. In turn, the unexpected isolation of (−)-capnoidine and (+)-bulbocapnine from Galanthus nivalis subsp.…”

The Amaryllidaceae alkaloids represent a large (over 300 alkaloids have been isolated) and still expanding group of biogenetically related isoquinoline alkaloids that are found exclusively in plants belonging to this family. In spite of their great variety of pharmacological and/or biological properties, only galanthamine is used therapeutically. First isolated from Galanthus species, this alkaloid is a long-acting, selective, reversible and competitive inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase, and is used for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Other Amaryllidaceae alkaloids of pharmacological interest will also be described in this chapter.
