South Africa has a diverse floral life, used by millions of people for medicinal purposes. These plant extracts have been shown to display antimicrobial, anticancer and antidiabetic activity, as well as activity against various neurological disorders.
Compounds isolated from marine organisms found off the coast of South Africa have similarly shown promising pharmaceutical potential.
Compound information has been extracted manually from literature.
