Discovery and isolation of Natural Products
Discovery and isolation of Natural Products are critical steps in pharmacognosy and natural product chemistry, enabling the identification and development of new drugs and therapeutic agents from natural sources. The isolated compounds are then tested pharmacologically to assess their therapeutic potential, safety, and efficacy. Promising candidates may proceed to further development, including synthesis, modification, and formulation, ultimately leading to new pharmaceutical products. This intricate process is essential for harnessing the therapeutic potential of natural sources and advancing drug discovery.
