The Erythrina genus has garnered scientific interest due to its diverse array of bioactive phytoconstituents, with potential therapeutic relevance. This review aims to synthesize and critically assess the existing literature on the antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiplasmodial properties of Erythrina species. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. Relevant studies were identified through keyword searches combining pathogen-specific terms with \u201cErythrina\u201d. The extracted data were categorized based on the pathogen type and its associated bioactive compounds. Several Erythrina species exhibited substantial antiviral activity against prominent viral pathogens, such as HIV and SARS-CoV-2. Notably, strong antibacterial efficacy was observed against Staphylococcus aureus, including multidrug-resistant strains. Antifungal activity was most pronounced against Candida albicans, while potent antiplasmodial effects were reported against both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum. These pharmacological effects were predominantly attributed to prenylated flavonoids, isoflavones, pterocarpans, and erythrina-type alkaloids. Further mechanistic studies and in vivo evaluations are essential to fully assess their clinical efficacy and support the development of plant-derived antimicrobial agents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/plants14193053","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,2]],"date-time":"2025-10-02T15:07:48Z","timestamp":1759417668000},"page":"3053","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Therapeutic Potential of Erythrina Genus: Bioactive Phytoconstituents with Potent Antiviral and Antimicrobial Activities"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6156-8025","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muchtaridi","family":"Muchtaridi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Analysis and Medicinal Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Padjadjaran, Sumedang 45363, West Java, Indonesia"},{"name":"Research Collaboration Center for Radiopharmaceuticals Theranostic, Universitas Padjadjaran, Sumedang 45363, West Java, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samuel","family":"Lestyawan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Apothecary Program, Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Padjadjaran, Sumedang 45363, West Java, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maitsa Alya","family":"Fakhirah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Apothecary Program, Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Padjadjaran, Sumedang 45363, West Java, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Agus","family":"Rusdin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Analysis and Medicinal Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Padjadjaran, Sumedang 45363, West Java, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shela","family":"Salsabila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Analysis and Medicinal Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Padjadjaran, Sumedang 45363, West Java, Indonesia"},{"name":"Research Collaboration Center for Radiopharmaceuticals Theranostic, Universitas Padjadjaran, Sumedang 45363, West Java, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4951-7740","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sandra","family":"Megantara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Analysis and Medicinal Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Padjadjaran, Sumedang 45363, West Java, Indonesia"},{"name":"Research Collaboration Center for Radiopharmaceuticals Theranostic, Universitas Padjadjaran, Sumedang 45363, West Java, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anas","family":"Subarnas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology and Clinical Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Padjadjaran, Sumedang 45363, West Java, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4953-927X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nur Kusaira","family":"Khairul Ikram","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Science, Universiti Malaya, Kuala Lumpur 50603, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"WHO (2025, September 11).
