Alkaloids are nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds typically isolated from plants. They represent one of the most important types natural products because their large number and structural diversity complexity. Based on chemical core structures, alkaloids classified as isoquinolines, quinolines, indoles, piperidine alkaloids, etc. In-depth analyses have revealed antibacterial activities. To date, due to widespread use antibiotics, problem drug-resistant bacterial infections has been gradually increasing, which severely affects clinical efficacy therapies patient safety. Therefore, significant research efforts focused they a potentially new type antibiotic with wide spectrum, rare adverse reactions, low tendency produce drug resistance. Their main mechanisms include inhibition cell wall synthesis, change in membrane permeability, metabolism, nucleic acid protein synthesis. This article reviews recent reports about structures activities alkaloids. The purpose is solve resistance provide certain theoretical basis ideas for development drugs.

Abstract Macroalgae have been recently used for different applications in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry since they do not compete land freshwater against other resources. Moreover, highlighted as a potential source of bioactive compounds. Red algae (Rhodophyta) are largest group seaweeds, including around 6000 species, thus it can be hypothesized that Sulfated polysaccharides, mainly agar carrageenans, most relevant exploited compounds red algae. Other molecules essential fatty acids, phycobiliproteins, vitamins, minerals, secondary metabolites. All these demonstrated to exert several biological activities, among which antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antimicrobial properties highlighted. Nevertheless, need further tested on vivo experiments go in-depth study mechanism action specific understanding structure–activity relation. At last, extraction technologies correct isolation molecules, cost-effective way, facilitate scale-up processes their application by industry.
