Plant-derived compounds in clinical trials

Arvind Saklani et al. Drug Discov Today. 2008 Feb.

Abstract

Plants remain an important source of new drugs, new drug leads and new chemical entities. The plant-based drug discovery resulted mainly in the development of anticancer and anti-infectious agents and continues to contribute to the new leads in clinical trials. A total of 91 plant-derived compounds in clinical trials as of September 2007 are described in this review. A summary of the plant-based drugs launched during 2000-2006 is given.
