A Review on Natural Products as Drug Leads
Keywords:
Drug leads, natural products, biological activities, Drug discoveryAbstract
Natural products have been a rich source of inspiration and discovery for drug development over centuries. Their diverse chemical structures and biological activities have led to the identification of numerous successful drug leads across various therapeutic areas. This review paper provides an in-depth analysis of the significance of natural products as potential drug eads, discusses their advantages and challenges, explores modern approaches to natural product-based drug discovery, and concludes with insights into the future prospects of this field.
