Phytochemistry is a branch of chemistry that focuses on the study of plant-derived compounds and their chemical structures, properties, and biological activities. It involves the identification, isolation, and characterization of phytochemicals present in plants, including alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and phenolics. Phytochemicals play vital roles in plant defense mechanisms, growth regulation, and interactions with the environment. Additionally, many phytochemicals have significant pharmacological properties and are used in traditional medicine or as leads for drug discovery. Phytochemistry intersects with various disciplines, including pharmacognosy, botany, and organic chemistry, to elucidate the chemical composition of plants and explore their potential applications in medicine, agriculture, and industry. Through phytochemical analysis and bioassays, researchers uncover the therapeutic potential of plant compounds and contribute to the development of natural products for human health and well-being.
