Those are chemistry fields dealing with the chemical properties of plants and what these chemicals can do in pharmaceutical preparations.
The topic would dwell on the importance of such disciplines in discovering healing factors in natural products and the role that such plant-derived compounds play in today's medicines. Phytochemical study on the chemical compounds of plants holds alkaloids, flavonoids, trepans, and glycosides.
Most bioactive compounds that exhibit pharmacological properties have therapeutic applications. Understanding the chemical nature of the compounds of the plants has facilitated new drug candidates and confirms the effectiveness of traditional herbal medicines.
Among other steps that make up the entire chain of phytopharmaceutical production, extraction, and purification of bioactive compounds from plants are the most important. Herein, several types of extractions-mac-ratio, solvent extraction, and supercritical fluid extraction-will be covered in terms of their advantages and limitations and impact on the quality of and efficacy of the final product.
Nowadays, the interest in phytopharmaceuticals, plant-based pharmaceutical products, is growing. As most medications currently prescribed to treat diseases owe their origins to ancient herbal medicine, more scientific studies continue to unveil additional therapeutic values trapped within natural compounds.
This session focuses on some of the most outstanding applications of phytopharmaceuticals, such as artemisinin in malaria therapy and curcumin in anti-inflammatory therapy.
This session will highlight the need for the study of ethno-pharmacology, or research into how different cultures use plant medicines. Understanding traditional practices and beliefs about herbal medicine has led to a greater appreciation of the cultural context that informs current therapeutic approaches based on phototherapy.
In the process of incorporating photochemistry into drug development, one is constrained by the standardization of herbal products and rigorous scientific validation.
The session will be on the regulation of phytopharmaceuticals, and the imperative role of quality control in assuring these drugs are both safe and effective. The participants will be exposed to the latest findings of research in photochemistry and phytopharmaceuticals, new findings in drug discovery, and possible therapeutic applications of compounds of plant origin for many diseases.
This richness of diversity in medicinal compounds from plants and their applications will facilitate better understanding of integrative and complementary medicine among health professionals.
The session is going to cover photochemistry and its respective applications besides their role in promoting holistic health, which in turn, is of immense value for creating new therapeutics.
Attendees will take away a much deeper understanding of how the resources from nature can be used to elevate pharmaceutical sciences.
