Phytochemicals in Medicinal Plants: Biodiversity, Bioactivity and Drug Discovery

Jeenat Aslam, Dakeshwar Kumar Verma, Charu Arora, Pramod Kumar Mahish

Benefitting from phytochemicals in medicinal plants has lately gained increasingly more global relevance. The medicinal bioactivity might range from wound healing activity to anti-inflammatory and anti-viral effects. This work describes the challenging scientific process of systematic identification and taxonomy through molecular profiling and nanoparticle production from plant extracts until a final use for e.g. cancer or HIV treatment.
