Abstract

Alkaloid compounds are active secondary metabolite compounds produced by plants. These alkaloid compounds provide extraordinary health benefits for humans because alkaloid compounds are efficacious as anti-diarrhea, anti-microbial, anti-diabetic, anti-microbial, and anti-malarial. The purpose of this literature review is to describe plants that produce alkaloid compounds as secondary metabolites and their bioactivity as antimicrobials. The method used in the data collection process is a narrative literature review. Data was obtained from various articles obtained from the Google Scholar website. The results of this literature review explain that there are many plants that produce alkaloid compounds as their secondary metabolites. Alkaloid compounds in each plant have the same bioactivity both as anti-fungal and anti-fungal. Alkaloids in their bioactivity will interfere with and damage cell formation in microbes so that microbial growth will be inhibited.
