ABSTRACT
Enzyme inhibitory agents are appealing since they can be used to treat a variety of ailments. A variety of diseases are caused by a lack of enzymes. Plants are considered to have a large number of secondary metabolites and phytochemical compounds, which have been extensively studied at the biochemical and molecular genetics levels, in addition to being widely used in human healthiness. Secondary metabolites produced by plants have been shown to have broad-spectrum enzyme inhibitory potential. Since these compounds have been used to treat a variety of physiological disorders, enzyme inhibitors hold a significant role as new drugs. Bioactive secondary metabolites can provide excellent pharmacophore patterns for drugs that treat a variety of diseases. The enzyme inhibitory capacity of natural compounds, plant extracts, and isolated compounds will be recorded in this book chapter.
