Review demonstrates plant cell culture utility for bioactive secondary metabolite production, highlighting scalable strategies to bypass chemical synthesis bottlenecks.

Key Points

To review the classifications, therapeutic applications, and biosynthetic mechanisms of plant-derived secondary metabolites while addressing limitations in industrial-scale production.
Narrative synthesis evaluating literature on bioactive phytochemical classes and their therapeutic and commercial applications.
Comparative analysis of natural extraction limitations, chemical synthesis barriers, and in vitro plant cell culture methods.
Natural extraction yields of therapeutic secondary metabolites are exceedingly low, and traditional chemical synthesis is severely hindered by complex structural chirality.
Plant cell culture systems supplemented with specific biochemical precursors and elicitors provide a consistent, scalable platform for producing target secondary metabolites.
