Summary
Bioactive compounds extracted from wild, aromatic, and exotic plants in arid and semiarid regions hold significant potential for various applications, yet studies are limited. Due to their growth in adverse environments, these plants have developed extraordinary metabolic mechanisms that produce unique and interesting compounds. These plants can exhibit diverse biological activities, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. Such properties indicate promising applications in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and agrifood industries. Advances in extraction methods, identification of novel compounds, and understanding of their biological mechanisms expand their potential uses. Furthermore, ongoing research suggests these compounds could address global health, environmental, and economic challenges, making them a valuable asset worldwide.
