The growth and evolution of our civilization have been based on the use of biodiversity. Human survival was much sustained by the use of plant species, especially for nutrition and medicinal uses. Natural products are the most traditional source for the design and development of new drugs. Taking into account all drugs approved worldwide, 67% are either a natural product, semi-synthetic derivative, macromolecule isolated from an organism or have a pharmacophore group inspired by a natural product. Natural products researchers have been studying the medicinal properties of plants, and great advances regarding biosynthesis, ecology, and biological properties were achieved in the last century. Unfortunately, many species are endangered of extinction, and their chemistry, genes, and biological properties would also be lost.
