Phytochemistry is a discipline, whose main research content is the science of the composition, structure and distribution of plant metabolites. It is closely related to the effective ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine and plant systematic classification, and is an interdisciplinary subject.
Phytochemistry isbotanyA cross discipline formed by combining with organic chemistry is natural organic chemistry orNatural product chemistry(Natural product chemistry, in addition to the chemical composition of plants, also includes the study of the metabolites of animals, insects, marine organisms and microorganisms). It is a discipline that reveals the mysteries of plants at the molecular level, and is also the basis for the rational use of plant resources.The application of modern chemical theories and methods to the study of chemical components in plants is the research content of phytochemistry, including that plant components mainly have physiological activitiesSecondary metabolitesThe extraction, isolation and purification, structure identification, physical and chemical properties, and biosynthetic pathways and biotransformation of major structural types of compounds.
