RESUMO
Candida albicans is a pathogen in the mouth responsible for opportunistic infections that are usually harmless. Natural products have been used to develop several drugs, mostly anticancer and anti-infective agents. Among these, alkaloids have been studied for their medicinal properties. In this study, we examined their antifungal activity against C. albicans in vitro. Among the alkaloids studied in this work, berberine hydrochloride showed the best activity against C. albicans.
