Natural Product Chemistry

Natural Product Chemistry is the branch of organic chemistry that studies chemical compounds produced by living organisms, such as plants, animals, and microorganisms. These compounds, known as natural products, often have unique structures and biological activities. Scientists analyze their chemistry to understand their roles in nature, discover new medicines, and develop natural dyes or flavors. By studying these substances, researchers can harness their potential for various applications, including pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and biotechnology, contributing to advancements in healthcare and sustainability.
