ABSTRACT
Nature holds great plausibility and enormous resources for the survival and existence of life on this earth. Since ancient times, natural products have played an important role due to their medicinal properties based on traditional claims. The current scenario has drastically changed owing to advancements in scientific techniques and the availability of essential materials to broaden this area of research, leading to huge developments and raising the standard of living by leading to the development of anti-infective drugs. Owing to their diversified chemical properties, it is the prime resource for drug discovery and development in the future. In general, Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs are natural products. Among the modern drugs, phytobiotics have remained one of the major sources. This field is gaining momentum, and many eco-friendly, cost-effective therapies involved in finding the lead molecule are based on the pharmacokinetic approach and have paved the way to attain the zenith of successful implementation of natural products to treat a particular disease. This chapter also addresses the challenges, opportunities and applications of such novel ideas and supports its growth in an affordable manner to create a breakthrough in the history of scientific research contributing the medicinal value that is obtained from mother nature.
