Download or read book Pharmacognosy and Molecular Pharmacognosy In Practice written by Soodabeh Saeidnia and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 21th century, pharmacognosy research areas are expanded and new aspects of phytochemistry, analytical chemistry, ethnobiology, ethnomedicine, molecular biology, and phytomedicine are developed. The present book prepares a practical guidance for young scientists, researchers, pharmacognosy and phytochemistry students with little experience of pharmacognostical investigations. It is considered that the comprehensive practical methods, as the laboratory manual, were included for each natural product class together with the colored photos of the reactions, which have not been found in the previous related books. Previous practical pharmacognosy books contained mainly the microscopic analysis and concise phytochemical methods. For this reason, the authors tried to include more details about the phytochemical methods, biological and biochemical assays and molecular biological techniques related to natural products and medicinal plants. Thereafter publishing this book, the authors intend to develop the chapters adding more experimental methods, which may be useful in new aspects of pharmacognosy.

This book was released on 2024-02-05 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook marks a pioneering attempt to align with the updated syllabus set by the Pharmacy Council of India for semester-4, focusing on Pharmacognosy & Phytochemistry-I. While numerous established authors have penned texts on Pharmacognosy, this edition distinguishes itself by presenting information in a simplified manner, complemented with abundant tables, figures, and essential diagrams. The primary goal is to facilitate easy comprehension for students. Aligned with the revised syllabus of the Bachelor of Pharmacy (B. Pharm.) course regulations 2014, this book follows the norms outlined in Regulations 6, 7 & 8 and subsequent amendments from 2017 onward, ensuring uniformity across India. The content is structured to match the semester-wise syllabus, with Pharmacognosy & Phytochemistry-I falling under semester-IV. This subject comprises five sub-units: Unit – I: Encompassing discussions on the history, scope, interconnections with related disciplines, and contemporary applications of Pharmacognosy. It delves into crude drug classifications, various sources, and emphasizes quality control techniques, including detection methods for adulterants through microscopic evaluation and camera lucida. Unit − II: This unit provides a comprehensive exploration of cultivation, collection, processing, and storage of naturally derived drugs. It emphasizes Good Agricultural Practice, factors influencing cultivation, and the role of plant hormones. Additionally, it covers crop improvement techniques such as polyploidy, mutation, and hybridization, as well as the conservation of medicinal and aromatic plants. Unit − III: Explores alternative cultivation methods through in-vitro techniques, specifically plant cell and tissue culture. It traces the historical development, types of cultures, nutritional requirements, growth, and maintenance under sterile laboratory conditions. The unit also touches upon applications of plant tissue culture in Pharmacognosy. Unit − IV: Focuses on Pharmacognosy's role in allopathy and traditional medicinal systems like Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, Homeopathy, and Chinese medicine. It elucidates the significance of plant secondary metabolites and methods for identifying alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, tannins, volatile oils, and resins. Unit − V: Covers the study of biological sources, chemical nature, and uses of drugs derived from plant fibers and primary metabolites. Detailed discussions include their chemistry, sources, preparation, evaluation, therapeutic uses, and commercial utility as Pharmaceutical aids. Additionally, it delves into important drugs obtained from marine sources. This book endeavors to offer contemporary knowledge in a systematic manner across all units. Your feedback and constructive criticism are invaluable and will be incorporated into future editions to rectify any shortcomings.
