Research Background and Significance Medicinal plants have long been integral to traditional healthcare systems, particularly in regions such as Thailand where ethnobotanical knowledge is rich and diverse. Their complex chemical compositions, especially phenolic compounds, contribute significantly to their antioxidant properties, which are of high interest for both functional food and pharmaceutical development. The increasing consumer demand for natural antioxidants and bioactive compounds has accelerated research into the identification and quantification of these components using advanced analytical techniques. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) remains a cornerstone method in phytochemical analysis due to its sensitivity, precision, and adaptability to various compound classes. This study specifically targets the comprehensive profiling of antioxidant and phenolic compounds in seven Thai medicinal plants, aiming to bridge traditional knowledge with modern scientific validation. By doing so, it provides critical insights for the pharmaceutical industry seeking novel natural sources fo
