Since
1986, research botanists have collected more than 40,000 plant samples
for evaluation in pharmaceutical screens against a variety of
therepeutic targets. A number of novel, bioactive compounds have been
isolated from plant samples collected by the Missouri Botanical Garden's
bioprospecting programs.
