Overview

Pharmacognosy is a very old yet highly relevant branch of pharmacy with huge potential; for development among various other branches of Pharmacy. The subject is mainly concerned with studying drugs obtained from natural sources like Plant, Animals, Minerals, Marine and Microorganisms.

The program is designed to train the students in various aspects of herbal drug technology, viz., herbal drug standardization, phytochemical evaluation, development and formulation of herbal drugs; evaluation and validation of traditional herbal products

The Dept of Pharmacognosy is well established with the modern equipments and Dedicated faculties. The medicinal garden and drug museum is attached to the department. Pharmacognosy that helps students to familiarize with all parts of plant drugs containing bioactive materials. Moreover, it deals with their botanical origin, macro & microscopic characters, bioactive constituents, medicinal uses, and industrial production of these drugs for pharmaceutical uses.

Since the beginning, pharmacognosy has been a translational or multidisciplinary science, and as the field's focus has expanded, phytochemistry and phytochemical analysis have been integrated into the discipline. Through selecting and applying appropriate screening assays targeted toward physiologically relevant molecular targets, molecular biology has become crucial to discovering medicinal plant drugs, and modern pharmacognosy incorporates all these appropriate new fields into a unique interdisciplinary science.
