Alkaloids isolated in the study mentioned above were named as somniferine, somnine, somniferinine, withamine, withanmine, pseudowithamine, and withanaminine (32). It was investigated that alcoholic extract of the plant contains various phytochemicals such as tropine, choline, pseudotropine, dl-isopelletierine, cuscohygrine, anahygrine, and anaferine (33). Furthermore, a pyrazole alkaloid, withasomnine, was separated from the alcoholic root extract of W. somnifera (34).
