(Wagner's reagent is used to test for alkaloids). To prepare Wagner's reagent; Dissolve 2g of iodine and 6g of KI in 100ml of water. -Atolani Olubunmi, Nigeria
activation of mRNA, which increases protein synthesis in the cell
nimbin is plant
It is the Saturated solution of Picric Acid and is used to test the presence of alkaloids. Alkaloids give yellow ppt. with Hager's reagent.
bile in the small intestine emulsifies the fat for enzyme action
A solution of potassium bismuth iodide. It is used to determine the presence of alkaloids.
When Dragehdorrf"s reagent is used for the detection of Alkaloids, the production of red-orange-brown precipitate is a "positive test" and it means the presence of alkaloids is confirmed.
what is the reaction mechanism between wagner's reagent and alkaloids
Well, in order to understand the reaction, you will need to know that mostly all alkaloids are precipitated from neutral or even slightly acidic solution when added to the reagent. When it is added it will turn cream colored.
[HgI4]-(aq) reacts with the lone pairs of nitrogen that are present, then the typical off-white precipitate falls out. A uncharged mercury salt is thus obtained. In some alkaloids there isn't a reaction with Mayer's reagent because it lacks lone pairs (example berberine) and it reacts also with alkaline peptides. This mechanism is actually similar then Dragendorff's reagent.
Hans Dragendorff was born in 1870.
Hans Dragendorff died in 1941.

There are many species which sequester alkaloids from plants, usually as a self-defence mechanism. Absorption of alkaloids by such species will usually render the organisms unpalatable largely because of the bitter taste that results. Certain ant, caterpillar, mite, frog, etc. species extract - and possibly metabolise - plant alkaloids to synthesise new ones or may simply secrete those absorbed during feeding on plants containing them.
