title: Amaryllidaceae, sceletium, imidazole, oxazole, thiazole, peptide and miscellaneous alkaloids.
abstract: This review covers alkaloids classified in the plant families Amaryallidaceae and Sceletium. In addition alkaloids possessing imidazole, oxazole and thiazole structures are listed followed by alkaloids possessing peptide linkages. Finally miscellaneous alkaloids include those compounds found naturally which cannot be classified into known groups; a relative Pandora's box. A total of 620 structures has been reviewed from 218 references found in the literature for the period July 1999 to June 2000.
