Alkaloids are a large cluster of molecules found in Mother Nature all over the world. They are all secondary compounds and collection of miscellaneous elements and biomolecules, derived from amino acids or from transamination. This diverse chemical group is categorized, based on the amino acids that deliver their nitrogen atom and part of their skeleton. Pyridine alkaloids are a class of alkaloids, nitrogen-containing chemical compounds widely found in plants that contain a pyridine ring. The most important examples of pyridine alkaloids are the nicotine and anabasine, which are found in tobacco, the areca alkaloids in betel and ricinine in castor oil. Quinazolinone is a heterocyclic chemical compound, a quinazoline with a carbonyl group in the C4N2 ring. These compounds are of interest in medicinal chemistry. Several quinazolinone-based drugs including idealisib and fenquizone have been shown to exhibit a broad spectrum of antimicrobial, antitumor, antifungal, and cytotoxic activities. The presentation gives in-depth idea on the topic.
