Most active ingredients in medicine today were originally extracted from plants, such as salicylic acid for pain relief and quinine for malaria. One notable example is Paclitaxel, a highly effective anti-cancer drug isolated from the bark of the Pacific yew tree. Its potential as an anti-cancer agent was discovered by accident in 1964, leading to its use as a cancer drug in 1992.
