  • Yes, even with the advancement of synthetic chemistry, Pharmacognosy remains indispensable. Many synthetic drugs are inspired by or modified versions of natural compounds, with examples like aspirin and paclitaxel originating from natural sources.

    Furthermore, as global interest in herbal medicines, nutraceuticals, and alternative therapies grows, Pharmacognosy ensures these products are validated scientifically and proven safe, thereby complementing synthetic drug development in modern healthcare.
