Natural source of Anti-infectives
Natural sources of anti-infectives refer to substances derived from plants, microorganisms, marine organisms, and other natural sources that exhibit properties capable of combating infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. These substances have been traditionally used in various forms of traditional medicine and are increasingly studied for their therapeutic potential in modern medicine. Examples include antibiotics like penicillin, originally derived from the fungus Penicillium, which inhibit bacterial growth by disrupting cell wall synthesis, and antiviral compounds like artemisinin, extracted from the sweet wormwood plant, used to treat malaria by interfering with the parasite's replication cycle. Natural sources of anti-infectives also include antimicrobial peptides from animals and plants, which have broad-spectrum activity against various pathogens.
