Medicinal plant products are characterized by the presence of several bioactive (primary and secondary metabolites) constituents that are present. Phytochemical (qualitative and quantitative analysis) and immunopharmacological based studies may provide new compounds in the form of drugs for eliminating intracellular as well as extracellular infections. Several immunopharmacological based reports have shown the action of medicinal plant products and its constituents (i.e. primary and secondary metabolites) against various pathogens i.e. cancer, inflammation, diabetes etc.
