Plant-Based APIs Are Disrupting Pharma: The Future of Sustainable Drug Development
The pharmaceutical industry is undergoing a profound transformation, one that aligns innovation with sustainability. At the heart of this shift lies the growing interest in plant-based active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Once sidelined as traditional remedies or alternative medicine, plant-derived compounds are now poised to become key disruptors in the pharmaceutical landscape. As demand for greener, safer, and more ethical drug development grows, plant-based APIs are emerging as the future of sustainable pharma.
