UNIT – 5
Basics of Phytochemistry
Modern methods of extraction, application of latest techniques like Spectroscopy, chromatography and electrophoresis in the isolation, purification and identification of crude
drugs
Scope of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry 2
The main purpose of subject is to impart the students the knowledge of how the
secondary metabolites are produced in the crude drugs, how to isolate and identify and
produce them industrially.
Also this subject involves the study of producing the plants and
phytochemicals through plant tissue culture, drug interactions and basic principles of
traditional system of medicine.
Objectives of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry 2
Upon completion of the course, the student shall be able
- to know the modern extraction techniques, characterization and identification of the
herbal drugs and phytoconstituents - to understand the preparation and development of herbal formulation.
- to understand the herbal drug interactions
- to carryout isolation and identification of phytoconstituents
