Study Notes
Pharmacognosy & Pharmacology
- Pharmacognosy is the study of chemical, physical, and biological properties of drugs from natural sources.
- It deals with natural sources such as plants, animals, microorganisms, and fungi.
Definition of Pharmacognosy
- Derived from Greek words "pharmakon" meaning drug or medicine, and "gnosy" meaning knowledge.
Key Concepts in Pharmacognosy
- Taxonomy of plants and natural sources of drugs
- Distribution of natural products in the world
- Description of plants (e.g., Tree, Shrub, Perennial)
- Identification of natural resources
- Active compounds or groups (e.g., Glycosides, Alkaloids, Volatile Oils, Tannins)
Related Concepts
- Biosynthesis within natural resources and storage places of active constituents in organisms
- Used part from natural sources in medicine and pharmacy (e.g., Leaf, Root, Stem)
Pharmacology
- Deals with drugs in general, regardless of whether they are synthesized or natural
- Concerned with pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
Historical Aspects
- Overview of medicinal plant use in different societies
- The role of plants in popular 'non-scientific' medical systems (traditional medicine)
Drugs from Natural Sources
- Crude drug, official, and non-official drugs
