study of drugs of biologic origin
pharmacognosy
highly specialized science that deals with the biologic, biochemical and economic features of natural drugs and their constituents
pharmacognosy
physiologic or pharmacological activity; botanical sources, history, distribution, collection, etc
biologic
active constituent/s; biogenesis, synthesis, how the drugs are formed in the plant, pathway
biochemical
collection, propagation; how the drugs are produced
economic
manipulation of genes, proteins, and enzymes using biotechnology to influence the synthesis of active ingredient/constituent to lessen the toxicity and increase the percentage yield.
molecular pharmacognosy
t/f: molecular pcog is only applicable for crude drugs from PLANTS since they are
the only ones with genes
false. applicable to PLANTS AND ANIMALS
increase the sustainability of the origin/natural source to avoid depletion; involve proper collection and cultivation
ecopharmacognosy
t/f: green chemistry is applied to ecopharmacognosy, which uses LARGE VOLUME of solvents
false. USING LESS SOLVENTS to reduce and minimize harmful chemicals in our environment
study of the metabolites and its amount, formation, and presence in various stages of plant development
plant metabolomics
t/f: plant metabolomics determine the proper age and best time when to collect the plant part with the highest active metabolite
