Plant Natural Product
Plant natural products—bioactive compounds like alkaloids, terpenes, and phenolics synthesized by plants—serve critical ecological roles (e.g., defense, pollination) while underpinning human innovation. Historically, they have yielded foundational medicines (e.g., morphine, aspirin, taxol), and today remain indispensable for drug discovery, sustainable agriculture (e.g., biopesticides), and biotechnology. Their structural diversity and evolutionary refinement continue to drive the development of novel therapeutics and eco-friendly solutions, highlighting their enduring significance in science and global health.
