The alkaloids are a group of plant chemicals and is used in medicine and other drugs. Some of the best known of these alkaloids are morphine, opium, quinine, cocaine and nicotine. Opium is a drug made from a flower, the poppy. Opium poppies can be grown mainly in eastern Asia. Opium and drugs such as morphine, that are made from opium, used as painkillers, but they are very dangerous and can be obtained only by prescription from a doctor.
Quinine is a drug from the bark of the cinchona tree, which grows in Peru and parts of Southeast Asia. It is used as a cure for malaria, a fever that strikes people in the southern United States and in tropical parts of Africa, South America and Asia. Cocaine is a pain reliever from the leaves of the coca plant in western South America. It is very dangerous, as are drugs made from opium. Cocaine was once used by dentists, but a substitute for it novocaine is nowused place. Nicotine is made from the leaves of the plant of snuff.
It is very poisonous, but the amount of nicotine in snuff smoking is too small to be poisonous. The nicotine is often mixed with water or other liquid and sprayed on plants to kill insects that destroy crops. There are several cases, besides that of novocaine, in which artificial drugs have made to replace the plant. An example is the atebrin, which is often used instead of quinine to prevent and control malaria.
