Abstracts

EN

This study highlights the importance of natural products in drug development, particularly Indian medicinal herbs with high biological potential. Major immunity-developing plant species were collected from the literature. These substances must be synthesized in the lab to enhance the human immune system to fight new viruses like novel corona to promote sustainable processes with little damage. Nature has bestowed numerous plant species with bioactive chemicals that can be utilized safely and effectively to treat various ailments in all living organisms. India, due to its diverse climate, is home to many plant species that possess medicinal properties. Some of the bioactive compounds found in Indian traditional medicine include tannins, phenols, terpenoids, flavonoids, esters, and other small chemicals. These compounds are known to exhibit biological activity and have been utilized in traditional medicinal practices in India.
