Description	This chapter presents the classification of che mically diverse and medicinally potential bioactive compounds. Plants are sources of a wide range of natural products in the form of health-promoting secondary metabolites with attributes contributing to preventive and therapeutic medication for diseases. Quality control of herbal drugs is also an important requirement to ensure a high yield of secondary metabolites from plants along with accurate identification and standardization of potential biocompounds. Based on their chemistry, bioactive compounds are categorized as alkaloids, glycosides, lignans, flavones, flavan-3-ols, isoflavones, flavanones, flavonols, anthocyanidins, salicylates, glucosinolates, stanols, and sterols. These secondary metabolites are absorbed and metabolized in the biological system to exert a specific pharmacological effect. Thus, various studies on the pharmacological activity of these bioactive compounds have been conducted at preclinical level (in vitro and in vivo) for establishing a detailed pharmacological profile. Potential mechanisms of action have also been explored for ROS scavenging potential, a hypolipidemic effect for reduction of circulating LDL, antiplatelet aggregation effect antitumor effect and anti-inflammatory effects.
