Abstract

Natural products are a rich source of bioactives with significant potential. This potential stems from their classification into primary and secondary metabolites based on their roles. Primary metabolites, including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, amino acids, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals, are integral to energy storage, metabolism, and genetic information transfer. Secondary metabolites, such as terpenoids, alkaloids, flavonoids, and steroids, serve external functions like defense, competition, and attraction. Both primary and secondary metabolites play crucial roles in maintaining the health and functioning of ecosystems.
