Abstract

Research in the design and synthesis of antimicrobials must be continued on this planet, considering that bacteria develop antimicrobial resistance to antimicrobial drugs. In addition, many synthetic drugs have side effects when administered and the cost of synthesizing drugs is an expensive endeavor and is non realized in developing country like Guyana. Guyana, however, vast and diverse flora have been shown to possess potent and selective antimicrobial activity that can lead to the further development of herbal medicines with new applications. In addition, our plants have been shown to possess striking hypoglycemic effect in guinea pig model experiments. Further research is necessary to continue with the development of novel herbal medicines, singly or in combination. In addition, the isolation and purification of the known and unknown active natural products that may be responsible for the medicinal activity, singly or in combination. In addition, a modulation of their structure/activity relationship. Unknown natural products would form the basis of novel drug discovery
