Many plants protect themselves by producing toxic proteins, which impair the digestion of herbivores. In response to caterpillar feeding, maize plants mobilize a protease that destroys the caterpillar's intestine. To secondary metabolites belong alkaloids, isoprenoids, and phenylpropanoids, all of which ...

Plants are potent biochemical factories. They have been components of phytomedicine since time immemorial. Plant products of commercial interest are secondary metabolites which can be derived from different parts of the plant like, bark, leaves, roots, flowers, seeds, fruits etc. This review focuses...
such as theanthracyclinedoxorubicinandbleomycin. Antitumor agents from plants that have been very useful aretaxolandcamptothecin. If modern medicine is to continue in its present form, novel families of antibiotics and other secondary metabolites must continue to be discovered and enter the marketplace ...

Plant chemistry is the basis of the therapeutic uses of herbs. A good knowledge of the chemical composition of plants leads to a better understanding of its possible medicinal value. Modern chemistry has described the role of primary plant metabolites in basic life functions such as cell division...
