The Role and Biochemical Significance of Plant Secondary Metabolites | Chapter 5 | Natural Products Chemistry: From Discovery to Applications, Edition 1

Natural products can be reproduced in labs by chemical processes, since they adeptly replicate the complex bioactive molecules found in nature. This encompasses a synthesis of several repeats of one-pot synthetic methods to produce natural products or analogous structures, together with subsequent biological assays of the structure and the increasing pharmacological activity of the drug. Chemical synthesis is crucial for addressing the constraints posed by the limited availability of natural resources and their sustainable harvesting, in comparison to natural production. It also facilitates the creation of structural analogues that have enhanced biological activity or pharmacokinetic properties. This presentation highlights the significance of the chemical synthesis process in drug discovery, including medicinal chemistry and the development of novel therapeutics.
