Pharmacy from Natural Products

A natural product is a compound or substance produced by a living organism that is, found in nature. In the broadest sense, natural products include any substance originated by life. The products contain complex mixture of many medicinal plant metabolites, such as Natural products: Alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids, and triterpinoids.Phytochemistry is nothing but the branch of chemistry concerned with plants and plant products. .Exposure of skin to sunlight and other atmospheric conditions causes the production of reactive oxygen species, which can react with DNA, proteins, and fatty acids, causing oxidative damage and impairment of antioxidant by using different system. Chromatography and powerful tool of detection of Phytoconstituents of their helpful instruments like Identification: UV, IR, NMR, Mass spectroscopy. The dominant separation technique High-performance liquid chromatography is a technique in analytical chemistry used to separate the components in a mixture, to identify each component, and to quantify each component-Ray diffraction is a tool used for identifying the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal.

The art or practice of using herbs and herbal preparations to maintain health and to prevent, or cure disease and a plant or plant part or an extract or mixture of these used in herbal medicine by the Extraction method of drug formulation. A pharmacological study of Herbal drugs is a method of using natural herbs and plants to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Recent efforts into the research and development of Natural products as markers for new drug discovery of anti-cancer drugs have led to the identification of a variety of Terpenoids that inhibit cancer cell proliferation and metastasis via various mechanisms.  Phytochemical evaluation of plant drug Now day’s pharmaceutical companies start processing of medicinal and aromatic plants in their formulation by using extraction of active components there are several processes like distillation, effleurage, maceration, expression, solvent extraction and fluid extraction are available for extraction of plant component and which includes Moisture content, total ash, acid insoluble ash, water soluble ash, water soluble Extractive value, alcohol soluble Extractive value, Phytochemical screening, and further isolation and identification of phytoconstituents.Natural products can also be prepared by chemical synthesis (both semisynthesis and total synthesis) and have played a crucial role in the development of the field of organic chemistry by providing challenging synthetic targets. Identity, purity, and quality of Crude drugs is a Standardization of drugs means confirmation of its identity, determination of its quality, purity and detection of nature of adulterant by various parameters like morphological, microscopically, physical, chemical and biological evaluations. Plant tissue culture is widely used to produce clones of a plant in a method known as micro propagation. Plant biotechnology may be defined as the application of knowledge obtained from study of the life sciences to create technological improvements in plant species.
