Alkaloids is a family company established in 1967. Starting with production of natural Caffeine, quite a number of speciality products have been added to our portfolio.
The Company is dedicated to identification, development, production & distribution of potent Phytochemicals and Botanical extracts. A number of Phytochemicals manufactured by Alkaloids are used as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients by major drug formulators the world over. We are internationally recognised as a reliable supplier of high quality Phyto-products. Alkaloids also manufactures custom-made products on exclusive basis for our valued customers.
We now have four state of the art manufacturing facilities at Hyderabad, Pune & Visakhapatnam all operating under strict cGMP guidelines. Additionally, we have set up a facility in Australia for processing an important biomass required for captive consumption.
Sourcing of Herbs - Maintenance of sustainable and regular supplies of biomass has been the hallmark of successfully manufacturing Phytochemicals & Botanical extracts over decades.
Our company is unique in the sense that it also engages in cultivation of medicinal plants on contract with farmers following GACP.
Our global reach with cultivators has augured well as most of the herbs used in our manufacturing come from our cultivation network. We carry a huge inventory of biomass so that we do not fail in our commitments even if the vagaries of nature fail the crop.
Quality System - We, at Alkaloids, lay special emphasis on Quality. Our Quality Management system has been developed in line with ICH Q7 guidelines. All activities are SOP driven. The Company is committed to ensure that it manufactures and distributes products that meet pre-defined quality attributes.
From initial stage right upto the Finished Product, we maintain stringent quality control. Our laboratories are equipped with modern analytical instruments like HPTLCs, HPLCs, Head space GCs, UV-VIS Spectrophotometers, Auto-titrators, Stability chambers etc. Crude Drugs are subjected to careful morphological and chemical analyses. Extracts of Crude Drugs are subjected to HPTLC linger printing'. In-process tests are conducted at various stages to keep quality check. Finished products are subjected to extensive testing using qualified instruments and validated methods.
Apart from routine analysis, equal emphasis is given on:
- Impurity profiling
- Stability Studies
- Validation of Analytical Methods
- GLP training
Botanical Extracts are standardized by quantifying the active ingredient(s) using UV-VIS spectrophotometry, HPLC, & HPTLC methods. Finished Products are of very high purity and contain much lower levels of residual solvents than the ones stipulated in ICH guidelines. Most of the impurities present in our products have been isolated and characterized. These are routinely monitored to ensure that they are well below the specification limits.
