For
centuries, human beings have used plants as therapeutic as well as food and
beverage, cosmetics and chemical industry.
Today, modern medicine continues to add plant-based raw materials to
many of the medicines it produces. The main reason why the demand for herbal
resources has continued to increase in recent years is that synthetically
produced drugs cause negative effects that will harm different organs of the
body while curing the disease in question. Thanks to the phytochemicals they
contain, medicinal plants show therapeutic properties such as antioxidant,
antibacterial, anti-cancer, cardioprotective, immune system strengthening,
anti-inflammatory, calming and protecting the skin from UV radiation. Atropine,
muscarine, reserpine, nicotine, cocaine and resveratrol are some important
plant-derived active ingredients used in modern medicine. As a result of
detailed studies on plants with each passing day, many plants are used as a
disease therapeutic in vivo and in vitro
studies after being investigated phytochemically. In this study, it is aimed to
evaluate the contents of medicinal plants used as bioactive natural compounds
in modern medicine applications.
