Abstract

Background: Alkaloids are important phytoconstituents obtained from various plant sources.

Methods: The main objective of the study was to evaluate the anti-infective potential of alkaloids against 14α-demethylase, transpeptidase, and omicron spike protein using molecular docking studies. The potential constituents were identified and an ADMET study was performed.

Results: The study concluded that reserpine and tubocurarine exhibited potential activity against the three tested enzymes with good ADMET profile.

Conclusion: Reserpine and tubocurarine can further be explored to attain new candidates as antiinfective agents.
