PHARMACOGNOSY AND PHYTOCHEMISTRY I by Anonim Book PDF Summary
Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry is a textbook that has long been a requirement of university curricula around the world because of its comprehensive coverage of both traditional and modern pharmacognosy. Historically, pharmacognosy was understood to be the study of medicines derived from natural sources. The term "pharmacognosy" comes from the Latin word for "drug," and it refers to the scientific investigation of the physical, chemical, biochemical, and biological features of drugs, drug substances, and potential drugs or drug substances that have a natural basis, as well as the scientific investigation of new pharmaceuticals generated from natural sources. There has been a steady influx of new data into the field of pharmacognosy, covering topics such as the natural drugs' history, alternative medical systems, classification, morphology, identification, cultivation, collection, production, and utilization; the trade and use of medicinal and aromatic plants, and the economic impact they have on nations; the adulteration of drugs of natural origin; the evaluation of drugs based on their physical, chemical, and behavioral properties; and much more. Modern pharmacognosy is the study of medicinal plants after amassing a huge amount of data about them. Besides the classic pharmacogenetic characteristics of natural medications, it encompasses a wide variety of investigations, such as the phytochemical analysis of medicinal plants and the extraction of biologically active ingredients. The goal of the writers is met in full through the systematic assembly of the well-written chapters, which include clean, well-labelled pictures where applicable. The writers express their sincere appreciation to their grandparents, parents, spouses, and children for inspiring them to write a book that fills a critical need for students at all levels and academics in one convenient location. This is a bonus that will help people from all walks of life who read the book.
