secondary metabolite

Secondary metabolites are organic compounds that are not directly involved in the normal growth, development or reproduction of organisms. Unlike primary metabolites, absence of secondary metabolities results not in immediate death, but in long-term impairment of the organism's survivability/fecundity, or aesthetics, or may perhaps, result in no significant change at all. Secondary metabolites are often restricted to a narrow set of species within a phylogenetic group.
