Dear Student,

Tropical rainforests are the vital part of the ecosystem. They are known as the world's largest pharmacy because they provide more than one-fourth of natural medicines. They are known to produce various lifesaving medicines such as Quinone, Mevacor, etc.
Quinone is used for the treatment of malaria and Mevacor is used for the treatment of the hypercholesterolemia patients.
