B.Pharm Semester 2: Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry notes. Pharmacognosy and phytochemistry connects natural sources with their chemical constituents. Follow the path from plant material to extraction and identification instead of learning each stage separately.
What to revise
- Biosynthesis: relate metabolite classes to their origin.
- Extraction: compare the purpose and limitations of the listed methods.
- Identification: record how a separated constituent is characterised.
A quick self-check
Make a workflow for a plant constituent: source, preparation, extraction, separation and identification. Explain what each stage contributes to the final result.
