Drug discovery is the systematic process of identifying and developing new candidate medications from natural or synthetic sources. Plants are a particularly valuable resource in this field, as they produce complex chemical compounds with diverse biological activities that have historically yielded many important pharmaceutical treatments. Studying plant chemistry and biochemistry enables researchers to discover and develop novel therapeutic compounds.
