Science Articles Medicinal Plants

Plants have provided Man with all his needs in terms of shelter, clothing, food, flavours and fragrances as not the smallest amount , medicines. Plants have formed the idea of sophisticated traditional medicine systems among which are Ayurvedic, Unani, Chinese amongst others. These systems of drugs have given rise to some important drugs still in use today. Among the lesser-known systems of medicines are the African and Australian, Central and South American amongst others. The look for new molecules, nowadays, has taken a rather different route where the science of ethnobotany and ethnopharmacognosy are getting used as guide to steer the chemist towards different sources and classes of compounds. It is during this context that the flora of the tropics by virtue of its diversity features a significant role to play in having the ability to supply new leads. Nonetheless the difficulty of sovereignty and property rights should even be addressed in line with the Convention for Biological Diversity (CBD).

 

This paper highlights the above, provides an overview of the classes of molecules present in plants and gives some examples of the types of molecules and secondary metabolites that have led to the development of these pharmacologically active extracts. The paper also presents some data on the utilization of plant products within the development of functional foods, addresses the requirements for validation of plant extracts and always stressing on safety, efficacy and quality of phyto-medications.
