Molecular Pharmacognosy

Molecular Pharmacognosy is the scientific study of natural substances, like plants and microorganisms, focused on understanding their chemical compounds at the molecular level. This field explores how these compounds interact with biological systems to develop new medicines. By analyzing the structure and function of natural molecules, researchers can identify potential drug candidates and improve existing therapies. It combines aspects of chemistry, biology, and pharmacology to unlock the therapeutic potential of nature's chemical diversity, advancing pharmaceutical discovery in a precise and informed manner.
