The most deadly human parasitic infection Malaria is responsible for the million of deaths throughout the world. It is generally transmitted by female Anopheles mosquito infected with parasites Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium malariae, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium knowlesi but the Plasmodium falciparum is the major one. Plasmodium falciparum has developed resistance against currently available anti malarial drugs quinine, chloroquine, mefloquine, and artemisinin in the market. So there is a vital need to discover the novel anti-malarial drugs. In these connection natural products especially from the plant sources has played an important role in the development of anti malarial compounds due to their efficiency, safety, low cost and availability for thousands of years. In this connection, a number of medicinal plants are the potential source of anti-malarial agents. In this review, comparative studies of the synthetic and natural product anti malaria agents are reported.

Malaria, Synthetic drugs, Alkaloids, Terpenes, Flavanoids, Phenolics, Quinones.
