Plants secondary metabolites have shown a potential usage to treat infections, health disorders, and illness. During the years these had been slowly replaced by other synthetic drugs. Many of these higher plants and their products are major sources of useful in different industries such as pharmaceutical, agrochemical, flavor and other aroma industries. On a worldwide scale, medicinal plants which use secondary metabolites mainly uses as crude drugs and extracts to treat diseases. Several of the plant secondary metabolites have a potent usage from these isolated compounds as including alkaloids such as morphine (pain killer), codeine (antitussive), papaverine (phosphodiesterase inhibitor), ephedrine (stimulant), ajmaline (antiarrhythmic), quinine (antimalarial), reserpine (antihypertensive), galanthamine (acetylcholine esterase inhibitor), scopolamine (travel sickness), berberine (psoriasis), caffeine (stimulant), capsaicin (rheumatic pains), colchicine (gout), yohimbine (aphrodisiac), pilocarpine (glaucoma), and various types of cardiac glycosides [1]. Flavonoids such as anthocyanins (antidiabetic), Naringin (anti osteoporotic), Cocoa flavonols (coronary artery disease), cardamonin(anti-cancerous) helps in treating various diseases.
