Plant Sources Compound Development Solutions
Humans have isolated more than 2,000 compounds from natural plants, and at least 100 new compounds are extracted from natural plants every year, and more and more natural compounds are discovered and utilized due to the advancement of extraction and purification technology.
The wide range of sources and diverse effects of natural compounds make the extraction and isolation of active ingredients with therapeutic effects from plant materials one of the important ways to develop new drugs.
Tens of thousands of plants containing bioactive components provide a treasure trove of target-rich precursors for modern drug development, while their rich biosynthetic pathways provide researchers with a library of natural enzymes of diverse catalytic types. Lifeasible has a tissue culture platform that covers hundreds of plant species and involves medicinal plants from multiple families, which makes our high-quality tissue culture seedlings the best raw material for researchers who isolate and extract active ingredients from plants.
Characteristics of several important natural compounds
| Compounds |
Sources |
Applications |
| Sulfur-containing organic compounds |
Natural sulfur-containing compounds are widely found in plants, including Cruciferae, Oscillatoriaceae, Menispermaceae, Alismataceae, Asteraceae, Lycoperdaceae, Chroococcaceae, Liliaceae, Alliaceae, Polyporaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Rutaceae, etc. |
Natural sulfur-containing compounds have anticancer activity, hypotensive and antispasmodic activity, protease inhibitory activity, and a wide range of biological activities. |
| Terpenoids |
Many plants continuously synthesize a wide variety of terpenoids during their growth and developmental stages, such as Asteraceae, Pinaceae, Taxoidaceae, Lauraceae, Lamiaceae, Magnoliaceae, Nymphaeaceae, Orchidaceae, Apocynaceae, Asclepiadaceae, Scrophulariaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Fagaceae, etc. |
Terpenoids are widely distributed and diverse, with an estimated 30,000 species or more, making them the most abundant category of natural products. Most terpenoids have antibacterial and fungicidal effects and are good natural herbicides and insecticides. |
| Flavonoids |
Flavonoids are an important class of plant secondary metabolites that are commonly found in the roots, stems, leaves, and flowers and fruits of natural plants. They include Bryophyte, Pterophyta, Fabaceae, Asteraceae, Malvaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Gesneriaceae, Paeonia, Scrophulariaceae, Rosaceae, Rutaceae, Ericaceae, Zingiberaceae, Pinus, Verbenaceae, Gentianaceae, Clusiaceae, Berberidaceae, Iridaceae, Moraceae, Polygalaceae, Liliaceae, Rubiaceae, etc. |
More than 9,000 flavonoids have been isolated from plants and are commonly known for their antioxidant, antitumor, and lipid-regulating effects, and can be used to treat neurological related diseases. |
In addition to the above-mentioned compounds, acidic polyphenols, steroids, alkaloids, glycosides, quinones, and phenylpropanoids are the main focus of Lifeasible.
