Medicinal chemists at UNC want to extract plant compounds that can kill cancer cells, viruses, or bacteria. Most of the compounds are ingredients in traditional Chinese remedies. Researchers believe that modernizing and scientifically testing the remedies will help legitimize traditional Chinese medicine so it can benefit more people.
