Medicinal plants are a foundational source for pharmaceutical development, as evidenced by their central role in ethnopharmacological studies [1], [2] and their documented potential as candidates for new drug discovery [3], [4], [5]. Academic literature consistently highlights this relationship, including specific reviews on their use in developing antimicrobial and antidiabetic therapeutics [6], [7].
