ABSTRACT:
The present paper looks at the significance of medicinal biotechnology for the development of therapeutic drugs obtained from plant secondary metabolites. Since plants are known to contain bioactive compounds with enormous therapeutic potentials, the paper highlights the latest molecular biological approaches employed in prospection of these bioresources. Extraction, purification, and alteration of plant metabolites are classified as core technologies along with other emerging technologies like plant cell culture, metabolic engineering, and synthetic biology that enable accurate and reproducible drug manufacture. Focus is made on the pharmacology on plant derived therapeutic agents in treating diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neurological diseases and infectious diseases. The paper shifting the focus towards the presence of these natural compounds in modern medicine to carry out a comparative analysis of their clinical and therapeutic significance. Ultimately, "Medicinal Biotechnology: The paper “Pharmacological Biotechnology: Synthesizing Therapeutic Drugs from Plant Secondary Metabolites” demonstrate how technological developments of the synthesis of healing molecules can lead to complex therapeutic remedies for better human health and existence.
