Background: Over the years, the medicinal properties of plants have been recognized as important sources of active ingredients in herbal medicine. In particular, plant-derived active ingredients have been used in microbial natural products long before the advent of modern medicine. Discussion: Since ancient times, the potency of medicinal plant products has been linked to the chemical, biochemical and synthetic activities of the plant product. Therefore, with the advancement of modern science in molecular and cellular biology, analytical chemistry and pharmaceuticals, the unique properties of these plant products are used to exploit the chemical and structural diversity and diversity. of the biology of this type of fruit in relation to their medicinal properties. Conclusion: New molecules are of interest to drug designers who are interested in modifying the chemical entities or structural parameters of natural products to produce new molecules that can be made into effective medicine.
