Medicinal Uses of Plant Secondary Metabolites: A Short Review

Abstract

Plant secondary metabolites are unique sources for medicines, food additives, flavours, and other commercial uses. In recent years, due to the commercial relevance of these secondary metabolites, there has been a significant deal of interest in their synthesis and in researching ways to increase their production using tissue culture technology. To produce secondary metabolites, cell culture methods were established around the end of the 1960s. Some of the most significant secondary metabolites found in plants are discussed in the present review
