  • Forskolin: Extracted from Coleus forskohlii, used in weight management and cardiac support.
  • Sennoside: Obtained from Senna leaves, widely used as a natural laxative.
  • Artemisinin: Sourced from Artemisia annua, a potent antimalarial agent.
  • Diosgenin: Found in Dioscorea species, acts as a precursor for steroidal drug synthesis.
  • Digoxin: Extracted from Digitalis species, used in heart failure and arrhythmia treatment.
  • Atropine: Derived from Atropa belladonna, used as an anticholinergic in eye and GI treatments.
  • Podophyllotoxin: An anticancer agent derived from Podophyllum species.
  • Caffeine: A CNS stimulant obtained from coffee and tea plants.
  • Taxol (Paclitaxel): Extracted from Taxus species, used in chemotherapy.
  • Vincristine & Vinblastine: Alkaloids from Catharanthus roseus, used to treat various cancers.
