Pharmacognosy — Lecture Notes Ppt

Pharmacognosy is the systematic study of crude drugs—unprocessed materials derived from plants, animals, and minerals—to understand their chemical, physical, and biological properties. 🧪 Core Concepts of Pharmacognosy

1. Active constituents: Bioactive compounds responsible for the therapeutic effects of medicinal plants.
2. Medicinal plant extracts: Mixtures of bioactive compounds obtained from medicinal plants.
3. Phytochemical screening: Preliminary analysis of medicinal plant extracts for bioactive compounds.
4. Structure-activity relationships: Relationships between the chemical structure of bioactive compounds and their biological activities.

These features provide a comprehensive overview of pharmacognosy and can be used to create informative lecture notes or an engaging PPT. pharmacognosy lecture notes ppt
