β¦ Synopsis
The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases has been the main cause of mortality in the history of mankind and consequently, most breakthrough discoveries from natural products have been in the area of cardiovascular research. Digitalis, reserpine, ajmaline, quinidine, ergotamine, atropine and lovastatin are a few examples of important discoveries from plants. More recently, some standardized plant extracts, such as Ginkgo biloba, Ginseng, Hawthorn and Garlic have also been introduced into the clinical medicine. In addition, forskolin, himbacine, reserpine and cocaine are considered useful pharmacological tools for further understanding of disease and design of new drugs.
