Abstract

In general, as with a considerable number of phytochemicals with antimicrobial activity, alkaloids 1-6 may be considered with potential as antibacterial/antifungal agents. The MIC values of the extract, alkaloidal fractions and compounds 1-6 indicate that, at least in part, the isolates were responsible for the antimicrobial activity observed.
