PLANT CHEMISTRY
Study of the composition of plant principle, their extraction, biosynthesis, and identification
PHYTOCHEMISTRY
PLANT SOURCES
region in which the plant or animal yielding the drug grows
GEOGRAPHIC SOURCE
PLANT SOURCES
Plant grows in their native countries

CLASSIFICATION OF DRUGS
active / inert
CHEMICAL CONSTITUENT
Vegetable or animal drugs that consist of natural substances that have undergone only the process of collection and drying
CRUDE DRUG
PLANT METABOLITES
- relatively more abundant in plants, but are of lower value
- carbohydrates, proteins, lipids
PRIMARY METABOLITES
PLANT METABOLITES
- present in small quantities but are of high value
- unique to a particular species
- may have biological role (anti-oxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory properties, etc.)
SECONDARY METABOLITES
