“…Many marine natural products have been shown to have a good inhibitory effect on human cancer cell lines during activity screening [ 16 , 20 , 25 ], in particular alkaloids [ 16 , 26 , 27 ]. Besides antiproliferative activity, marine alkaloids possess a high degree of biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antimalarial, anti-fungal, antibacterial, antiosteoporosis, and immunomodulatory activity [ 16 , 22 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ]. Alkaloids can be classified in terms of their chemical structure into subclasses such as sterols, pyridoacridines, pyrazinones, pyrroles, isoquinolines, guadinines, aminoimidazoles, indoles, and bis-indoles [ 36 ].…”
