“…Medicinal plants are essential for human health and sustainable healthcare due to their diverse bioactive compounds. These include alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and polyphenols, known for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties [ 13 , 14 ]. They remain a significant resource for traditional medicine, particularly in regions with limited access to modern healthcare.…”

The paper provides a comprehensive examination of heavy metal stress on medicinal plants, focusing on its impact on antioxidant capacity and biosynthetic pathways critical to their therapeutic potential. It explores the complex relationship between heavy metals and the physiological and biochemical responses of medicinal plants, highlighting how metal stress disrupts biosynthetic pathways, altering concentrations of secondary metabolites. This disruption may compromise the overall quality and efficacy of medicinal plants, requiring a holistic understanding of its cumulative impacts. Furthermore, the study discusses the potential of targeted genetic editing to enhance plant resilience against heavy metal stress by manipulating genes associated with antioxidant defenses. This approach represents a promising frontier in safeguarding medicinal plants in metal-contaminated environments. Additionally, the research investigates the role of phytohormone signaling in plant adaptive mechanisms to heavy metal stress, revealing its influence on biochemical and physiological responses, thereby adding complexity to plant adaptation. The study underscores the importance of innovative technologies and global cooperation in protecting medicinal plants’ therapeutic potential and highlights the need for mitigation strategies to address heavy metal contamination effectively.
