2.3 Cancer
It is a large class of illnesses which is characterized by the unregulated and uncontrolled development of the body’s cells that generally attack and as a rule destroy normal cells. Cancer can start in almost any tissue or organ of the body when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably, go beyond their habitual limits to occupy adjoining parts of the body and/or spread to other organs. Metastasizing is the latest process of cancer progression and is generally a major cause of death. Compounds isolated from natural sources have regularly had an important part in treating and pre­venting human illnesses since olden times including cancer [134]. Among natural products, alkaloids, phenolic com­pounds, and terpenoids were reported to possess antiprolif­erative activity.

Terpenoids which displayed anti-cancer activities are alisol A (108), alisol B 23-acetate (109) [153], euscaphic acids G (138), hederagenin (139), triregeloic acid (140) [154], hydroxylindestrenolide (141), lindestrenolide (142) [155], 3-epicyclomusalenol (143), cyclosadol (144) [156, 157], cau­loside A (145), α-hederin (146), sapindoside B (147) [158], isoartemisolide (148) [159], α-cadinol (149) [160], lindero­lide G (150) [155], syreiteate A (151), syreiteate B (152) [161], 10-O-acetylmacrophyllide (153) [162], β-pinene (154) [163], withaferin A (155), and celastrol (119) [164] (Fig.11).
2.4 Chronic Respiratory Diseases
Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) are chronic illnesses of the airways and other parts of the lung such as asthma, chronic and obstructive pulmonary diseases, cystic brosis, occupational lung diseases, pneumoconiosis, pulmonary sarcoidosis, and sleep apnea. CRDs affect seniors, adults, teens, and all ages-children, and pose major health care and
economic strain across the world [165]. There are two most important risk factors for chronic respiratory illnesses which are outdoor and indoor air quality and tobacco smoke. Plants can be used against CRDs and they contain compounds which are able to show benecial activity against CRDs. It is reported that secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, phenolic compounds, and triterpenes can produce desirable effects against chronic respiratory ailments.
2.4.1 Alkaloids
Alkaloids can be categorized into several subclasses depend­ing on their structure, viz. indole, pyridines, pyrrolidines, pyrrolizidines, isoquinolines, quinolines, steroids, terpenoids and tropanes. Some alkaloids were reported to exhibit activi­ties against respiratory chronic diseases such as picrine (156), 19-epischolaricine (157) [166], berberine (1) [167], evodiamine (158) [168], and antidesmone (159) [160] (Fig.12).
2.4.2 Phenolic Compounds
Phenols are plant secondary metabolites commonly present in human diet [169]. Phenols represent ideal therapeutic agents for the management of respiratory diseases due to their potent anti-inammatory and anti-oxidant activities [170, 171]. Resveratrol [172, 173], curcumin [174, 175], quercetin [176, 177], epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) [178, 179], apocynin (160), paeonol (161), zingerone (162) [180], ellargic acid (163) [181], protocatechuic acid (164) [182], tricetin (165), luteolin, apigenin-7-glucoside (166), baicalein (167), baicalin (168), hyperoside (169), quercitrin (170), morin (171), tectogenin (172), and eriodictyol (173) [183185] were reported to display notable properties against CRDs (Fig.13).

empirical formula, functional groups, and elucidation of structural formula and spatial relationships. It is obvious that the known molecule identication will include a lesser amount of advanced investigations. The criteria and proce­dural steps which will be chosen frequently depends on the availability of special equipment. Chemists and biologists make use of both qualitative and quantitative techniques for the characterization of phytoconstituents from plants includ­ing those involved in the management of lifestyle diseases. In this section, we will describe the main techniques used in the characterization of classes of compounds mostly involve in the management of these diseases.
3.1 Qualitative Estimation ofSecondary Metabolites
Many interesting methods are used on plants’ extracts to assess the existence of many groups of secondary metabo­lites. In order to show the presence of these compounds, dif­ferent qualitative tests can be realized.
3.1.1 Some Qualitative Tests forAlkaloids
3.1.1.1 Test ofMayer
The reagent of Mayer is prepared from mercury and potas­sium iodide to form a solution of dipotassium tetraiodomer­cura (II) (K2HgI4). To perform the alkaloids identication, 1mL of plant extract is mixed with 1mL of potassium mer­curic iodide solution (Mayer’s reagent) in the test tube. After shaking to ensure complete mixing, the formation of a pre­cipitate with cream color in the test tube indicates a positive result. The absence of this precipitate indicates a negative result that is the absence of alkaloids [193].
are added. The presence of avonoids is indicated by effer­vescence and a deep pink (purplish) color [193].
3.1.2.2 Test ofFerric Chloride
This test is used to assess the existence of phenols and poly­phenols in a plant extract. To an alcoholic solution of the sample, few drops of FeCl3 are added and the change of color from yellow to purple designates the existence of phe­nols [194].
3.1.2.3 Test ofGelatin Hydrolysis
This test assesses the existence of phenolic compounds in a sample. It consists of the formation of a white precipitate due to the addition of 10% NaCl and 1% gelatin on dried extract dissolved in water [195].
3.1.3 Qualitative Identication ofKetone: 2,4-Dinitrophenyl Hydrazine Test
About 0.5g of 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine is dissolved in
2.5mL aqueous solution of concentrated H2SO4 to give solu-
tion A.The sample is dissolved in a lowest quantity of 75% EtOH to give solution B.The appearance of a yellow/orange/ red precipitate when solution A is added drop wise to solu­tion B indicates the presence of aldehyde or ketone func­tional groups.
3.1.4 Qualitative Identication ofAnthraquinones: Bornträger Test
A small amount of the sample (~0.5mg) is dissolved in 5mL of a solvent that is immiscible with water (chloroform, ether, methylene chloride, carbon tetrachloride). The formation of a red coloration in the aqueous phase when 10% of an aque­ous alkaline solution is added (NH4OH, NaOH or KOH) indicates the presence of anthraquinones [196].
3.1.1.2 Test ofDragendor
After adding 1mL of the reagent of Dragendorff to 2mL of extract, the presence of alkaloids can be indicated by the for­mation of an orange red precipitate observed [193].
3.1.1.3 Test ofHager
To perform the Hager’s test, few drops of Hager’s reagent are added to two 2mL of extract. We observe the formation of a yellow precipitate which reveals the presence of alka­loids [193].
3.1.2 Some Qualitative Tests forPhenolic Compounds andTannins
3.1.2.1 Test ofSchinoda
To an alcoholic solution of the sample, few drops of concen­trated hydrogen chloride and a pinch of magnesium shavings
3.1.5 Some Qualitative Tests forTerpenoids andSteroids
3.1.5.1 Test ofLiebermann–Burchard
To a CHCl3 solution of the sample to be analyzed, we add a few drops of acetic anhydride and concentrated H2SO4. The presence of triterpenes and steroids is indicated by a change of color to brick red for terpenoids and purple (or blue that rapidly changes to green) for steroids.
3.1.5.2 Test ofHorizon
When 2mL of trichloroacetic acid is added to 1mL of an extract or organic sample, the existence of terpenoids is observed by the appearance of a red precipitate [193].
3.1.5.3 Test ofSalkowski
The organic sample is shaken alongside with chloroform and concentrated solution of sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and

added along the walls of the test tube. After some minutes, the red color which is observed indicates the presence of steroids [193].
3.1.6 Qualitative Test forthePresence ofSaponins
In this qualitative test, few drops of a solution of sodium car­bonate (Na2CO3) is added to 5mL of extract in the test tube. The formation of foam after vigorous shaking indicates the presence of saponins [193].
3.1.7 Some Qualitative Tests forCarbohydrates
3.1.7.1 Test ofBenedict
Eight to ten drops of the extract is added to 5 mL of Benedict’s reagent, followed by heating for 5min. The for­mation of dark red precipitate indicates the existence of car­bohydrates [193].
3.1.7.2 Test ofMolish
The sample to be analyzed is introduced into a test tube and dissolved in a solution of 1% ethanol in α-naphtol. A few drops of concentrated H2SO4 are added by letting it ow down the side of the tube. The appearance of a purple-red ring at the interface between the liquids indicates the pres­ence of a sugar or sugars.
3.2 General Characterization Techniques ofPhytoconstituents
After determining the nature of the organic sample by means of qualitative analyses, the complete characterization is gen­erally done using spectroscopic methods such as UV, IR, mass, and NMR spectroscopy, and sometimes X-ray analy­sis. When necessary, synthesis can also be used [197].
3.2.1 Mass Spectrometry
This is a powerful analytical technique for the identication of known and unknown phytochemicals. Mass spectrometry consists of an ionization chamber in which the molecules being examined enter the gas phase and acquire electrical charge. In mass spectrometry, the symbol z characterizes the number of charges on the molecule and the symbol m means the molar mass of a molecule of analyte in grams per mole. The spectrum is a histogram of the relative amount of each type of analyte that has a particular mass-to-charge ratio which the symbol is m/z. Some ionization methods com­monly used are chemical ionization (CI), fast atom bombard­ment (FAB), and eld desorption (FD). Chemical ionization spectra can be recorded from both positive and negative ions [198]. In mass spectrometry, the relative molecular mass can
be determined with high accuracy and an exact molecular for­mula can be determined with a knowledge of places where the molecule have been fragmented [199]. Moreover, the HPLC and MS combination facilitates rapid and accurate identication of chemical compounds in medicinal plants [200203].
3.2.2 UV-Visible Spectroscopy
Spectrophotometry or UV-Vis Spectroscopy is a tool used to measure how much a chemical substance absorbs light. The experience consists of determining the intensity of light that passes through a sample with regard to the inten­sity of light through a reference sample or blank. This method can be utilized for numerous sample types counting glass, thin- lms, solids, and liquids. The absorption of UV light or visible light by organic compounds is the principle of UV-Visible Spectroscopy which results in the production of distinct spectra. Spectroscopy is based on the interaction between matter and light. When the matter retains the light, it experiences excitation and de-excitation, coming about within the generation of a spectrum. This technique can be used for qualitative analysis and for the identication of certain groups of compounds which have chromophores in their structures [204]. For instance, phenolic compounds such as anthocyanins, phenols, polymer dyes, and tannins form complexes with iron that are detected by UV-visible spectroscopy [205, 206]. This technique does not take much time and is less expensive than other techniques [207].
3.2.3 Infrared Spectroscopy
Infrared (IR) spectroscopy through the absorption of infra­red light is a very important technique for detecting the characteristic bonds of several functional groups. If infrared light is shone on a molecule, it is possible that the molecule will absorb the energy of the light. The energy absorbed can cause a bend or bond to stretch. That is called a bending or stretching vibration. These vibrations which correspond to the frequency of infrared light only occur at specic fre­quencies. The infrared light is absorbed when the frequency of IR light corresponds to the frequency of a particular vibrational mode. You can then know which frequencies are being absorbed by looking at your infrared spectrum. The different types of bonds vibrate at different frequencies and therefore absorb different frequencies of infrared light, which makes it possible to determine the functional groups present. The characteristic vibrational frequencies are known for the majority of commonly occurring chemicals [208]. Infrared spectra can be sorted into two principal regions:

73
– Diagnostic region—generally provides the clearest infor-
mation and has fewer peaks. This region includes all sig­nals from all bonds in a molecule. This region has the wavenumbers with value higher than 1500cm−1;
– Fingerprint region—contains signals resulting from the
vibrational excitation of most single bonds (bending and stretching). Values of wavenumbers in this region are less than 1500cm−1.
Infrared spectroscopy is used for the identication of dif­ferent vibrational frequencies of single, double, and triple bonds present in an organic molecule [205, 207].
3.2.4 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Spectroscopy
This technique is commonly known as NMR which gives chemical, physical, and biological properties of compounds. Chemists generally use one-dimensional and two­dimensional techniques to determine the structure of mole­cules [205]. The technique is linked to the magnetic properties of certain atomic nuclei of proton and carbon. For instance, 13C-NMR and 1H-NMR are used for the identica­tion of different types of carbon and hydrogen present in natural products [204, 205].
the alkaloid is a simple derivative of a known alkaloid that can be recognized by comparing MS and UV data.
3.3.1 UV andIR Characteristics ofAlkaloids
UV is the oldest and still an important tool for the identica­tion of alkaloids, especially indole and isoquinoline alka­loids which have a large number of different characteristic chromophores, providing information on the aromatic part of the molecule [211]. Identication of alkaloids by UV spec­trophotometer was achieved by dissolving the isolates with solvent (chloroform for example) and measuring its absor­bance at a wavelength of 200–400nm.
IR is particularly useful for conrming the structure of known alkaloids. It can be useful for the identication of cer­tain functional groups such as carbonyl groups but also for the determination of stereochemistry. For instance, in hete­royohimbine alkaloids, the appearance of Bohlman bands at about 2900cm−1 is indicative of the stereochemistry of the C and D rings [212].
Identication of alkaloids using FTIR can be achieved by mixing isolates with potassium bromide using a mixing vibrator, then printing pellets and inserting then into the FTIR.The absorbance is then measured at a frequency of 4000–5000cm−1.
3.2.5 X-Ray Crystallography
X-ray crystallography is a commonly used technique to determine the structure of an organometallic or organic mol­ecule where the spatial arrangement of atoms around a chiral center is more readily determined. The X-ray crystallogra­phy technique can give a structure at a resolution of 0.083 Angstrom. A single crystal of a pure substance is an orderly range of molecules [209]. The underlying principle is that the crystalline atoms cause a beam of X-rays to diffract into many specic directions. A crystallographer can produce a three-dimensional picture of the density of electrons within the crystal by measuring the angles and intensities of these diffracted beams.
3.3 Characterization Techniques ofAlkaloids
The identication of alkaloids depends on their classication. Known alkaloids can be identied by high performance liquid chromatography coupled and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS and GC-MS). Known alkaloids can also be detected in complex mixtures by 1H- NMR and 13C­NMR which are more suitable because of the wide range of shifts [210]. In addition, 2D-NMR especially 2D-COSY seems very suitable because of their good sensitivity. For unknown alkaloids, the identication can be easily achieved if
3.3.2 Mass Spectrometry (MS)
The mass spectroscopy of alkaloids has been widely reviewed in regard of the importance of the technique and its utility in the determination of the mass of the compounds [213, 214]. The direct coupling of mass spectroscopy with gas chroma­tography (GC) or high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) turns these techniques into very powerful tools in the identication of alkaloids. GC-MS has the advantage that mass spectra also showing fragmentation, either by electron impact (EI) or chemical ionization (CI), are more easily obtained. In most of the interfaces available for LC-MS, no fragmentation spectra can be obtained; only the protonated molecule (M+ 1) can be observed in the positive ion mode. However, because of their great variety of structure, we have not given the general mass of alkaloids.
3.3.3 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
Many reviews on the NMR data of alkaloids have been pub­lished [215]. The 1H-NMR spectrum gives an indication by showing features already known for other alkaloids, includ­ing the pattern of aromatic signals in indole alkaloids which can be used to obtain information on the type of indole alka­loid involved [210].
The fact that the signals of different protons overlap can complicate the interpretation of the 1H-NMR spectra. The use of shifting reagents allows overlapping signals to be resolved. Triuoroacetic acid has been shown to be a useful shifting reagent for alkaloids [216]. In CDCl3 solution it
