Abstract

Tropical regions are characterized by a rich diversity of plant species and unique growth environments, resulting in the production of numerous important medicinal metabolites. This review summarizes the recent progress in the analysis of metabolites from tropical plants. These plants have developed specific metabolites that aid their adaptation to challenging environments, and these compounds hold significant medicinal value. The review further examines the genetic biosynthetic pathways that contribute to the production of these compounds, providing insights into the mechanisms of their synthesis. Additionally, it discusses future prospects for the utilization of these metabolites, exploring potential advancements in biotechnological approaches to enhance their production and application. By emphasizing the significance of tropical plants as reservoirs of bioactive substances, this review aims to encourage further exploration and sustainable use of these important natural resources in the field of medicine and beyond.
