#Aloiz
- Alangium chinense — A species of small to medium-sized deciduous tree or shrub in the genus Alangium, native to a wide region spanning China, the Caucasus, South Asia, and parts of tropical Africa; a plant structurally characterized by variable leaf shapes (often lobed) and creamy-white flowers with recurved petals. In traditional Chinese medicine (known as Ba Jiao Feng), its roots and bark are empirically used for their analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects in treating rheumatism, although the plant contains potent alkaloids (such as alangine) that impart high toxicity and require rigorous processing.
- Alkaloidal — Pertaining to alkaloids, containing alkaloids, or possessing properties similar to these nitrogenous organic compounds. The term describes extracts, solutions, or chemical structures derived from medicinal or toxic plants, characterized by an intense pharmacodynamic action on the central nervous system.
- Aloeus — Secondary Romanianized form or spelling variant for the name of the Greek mythological character Aloeus (Alöeus), legendary king of Thessaly and son of Poseidon. In older lexicographical indexes, the term is registered as a proper noun used to indicate the kinship or patronymic attributed to the giant Aloadae (his adoptive or biological sons), who attempted to storm heaven and overthrow the Olympian gods.
- Aloiz — A regional, archaic onomastic form or graphical variant adapted into the Romanian language for the masculine given name of Germanic origin, Alois (or Aloysius). The name structurally derives from Old High German, being etymologically associated with the idea of fame, wisdom, or military prestige (structurally correlated with historical roots similar to the name Louis).
- Aloizi — A plural form used in specific contexts to designate multiple individuals bearing the name Aloiz or, in old natural history literature and archaic translations, erroneously used as a free plural adaptation for the mythological giants (aloadae / aloidae). In historical social structures, the term could define the members of a family or clan led by a patriarch named Aloiz.
- Alloisogenesis — A biological process or modality of embryonic development in which the formation and differentiation of tissues or organs exhibit structural deviations or alternating phases compared to the typical model of the respective species. This ontogenetic mechanism analyzes how environmental factors or early biochemical modifications induce parallel structural development pathways, leading to unique morphological variations without altering the core genome.
- Alloisomerism — A particular type or atypical form of isomerism in which chemical substances possess the same crude molecular formula and the same fundamental bonds, but differ structurally through spatial orientation, geometric configuration of substituents, or alternative atomic arrangement. This phenomenon causes significant differences in the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the respective compounds, being essential in drug synthesis.
- Apocynaceae — A family of higher dicotyledonous plants, often tropical or subtropical, characterized by the presence of a white latex, regular hermaphrodite flowers, and follicle-type fruits; a plant belonging to this family. Many species possess high pharmacological importance due to their rich content of alkaloids and cardiotonic glycosides, while some are used ornamentally.
- Atropa — A genus of perennial herbaceous plants in the family Solanaceae, the most famous being Atropa belladonna (deadly nightshade). Species within this genus have a complex biological structure and are highly toxic, containing a large amount of tropane alkaloids (atropine, scopolamine) with major parasympatholytic effects, utilized in the structural pharmaceutical industry and medicine.
