This review aims to look into the therapeutic use of bioactive chemicals in respiratory illnesses. Secondary metabolites, also known as bioactive compounds, are anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant components found in vegetables and fruits that are beneficial in the treatment of respiratory disorders such as COPD, asthma, tuberculosis, pneumonia, and lung cancer, leading causes of death and suffering. Alkaloids, flavonoids, ginsenosides, and essential oils are a few of the plant's bioactive molecules. Due to differences in the chemical composition of bioactive substances in medicinal plants, their activities are not identical. The overall features of numerous bioactive substances on the airway tract, as well as their mode of action and therapeutic efficacy, are also examined. Overall, the purpose of this article is to describe the effects of several bioactive compounds in the treatment of respiratory illnesses. This research also sheds light on a variety of bioactive nanoparticles that can be utilized to treat various respiratory ailments.
