Definition
Any of a large group of naturally occurring organic compounds containing nitrogen, many of which have powerful effects on living organisms (like caffeine, morphine, or nicotine).
Etymology
From alkali + -oid suffix (meaning 'resembling' from Greek -oeides). Coined in the 1800s because these compounds resembled alkalis chemically and behaved similarly in reactions.
Kelly Says
Alkaloids are nature's chemical weapons and medicines—caffeine wakes you up, morphine kills pain, ricin kills you. The same molecular family produces both life-saving drugs and poisons, which is why proper chemistry matters!
