Abstract

Since ancient times, medicinal plants have been extensively used in traditional healthcare systems for the prevention and treatment of various diseases. In developing countries, a large proportion of the population continues to depend on traditional medicine due to its accessibility, affordability, and perceived safety. Natural products derived from medicinal plants have gained significant attention as potential therapeutic agents because they contain a wide variety of bioactive compounds with pharmacological properties. Consequently, medicinal plants have become an important source for the discovery and development of novel drugs used in the treatment of infections, cancer, inflammatory disorders, and other chronic diseases.(1)
