Phytochemicals in Medicinal Plants: Biodiversity, Bioactivity and Drug Discovery

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.
