| Abstract | Natural medicinal products have been used for millennia for the treatment of multiple ailments. Although many have been superseded by conventional pharmaceutical approaches, there is currently resurgence in interest in the use of natural products by the general public. In addition, the pharmaceutical industry continues to examine their potential as sources of novel medicinal compounds to identify novel growth factor, immunomodulatory and potential anti-microbial activity [1]. In recent years, multiple drug resistance in human pathogenic microorganisms has developed due to indiscriminate use of commercial antimicrobial drugs commonly used in the treatment of infectious diseases. This situation has necessitated a search for new antimicrobial compounds [2]. Natural products are both fundamental sources of new chemical diversity and integral components of today’s pharmaceutical compendium. The search for new antimicrobial substances exhibiting minimal side effects is warranted because of the severe side effects of some drugs currently in use [4]. So, there is an increasing need for new substances with antiviral and antimicrobial activity. Natural products have opened the ways to new therapeutic approaches, contributed to the understanding of numerous biochemical pathways and have established their worth as valuable tools in biological chemistry and molecular and cellular biology [5]. |
