Alkaloids, which are generally basic N-containing compounds, have been found in a variety of natural sources. Recently, the interest in alkaloids from corals increased significantly due to their remarkable bioactivities. This review deals with the chemical structures and biological activities of alkaloids in corals. The literature has been covered up to June 2011, and a total of 102 alkaloids from the 51 publications are discussed and reviewed. Some of these compounds showed various biological properties, such as cytotoxic, antibacterial, insecticidal, antifouling, and other activities.
