Abstract

Natural substances have shown to be a highly useful and efficient source of anticancer medications over time. Using naturally occurring molecules as constituents or changing their molecular makeup, several molecules have been created from natural sources. These compounds are employed in many different fields, including engineering, biology, and medicine. The employment of numerous costly, state-of-the-art treatments to combat cancer and decrease its lethal effects has not much improved the situation. Natural products are playing a bigger   role in the drug development process due to their distinct functionality and enormous molecular diversity. In addition, because of their distinct molecular characteristics, organic goods can offer higher effectiveness and less risk. Bioactive compounds are pricelessly derived from the natural world and can be used to treat and prevent disease in people. They are therefore essential and crucial to the creation of pharmaceuticals.
