Can alkaloids be used as an anti-dengue substance?

Alkaloids, which are nitrogen-containing compounds found in many plants, have shown potential antiviral properties in various studies. Some alkaloids may inhibit the replication of viruses, including dengue virus, suggesting they could be explored as anti-dengue agents. However, more research is needed to determine their efficacy, safety, and mechanism of action against dengue before they can be considered viable treatment options.
