“FUNDAMENTALS OF PHARMACOGNOSY AND PHYTOCHEMISTRY” is an attempt made by the authors to fulfill the long pending needs in the field of Pharmacognosy. The present work can give better understanding about the subject and cover topics which are relevant to the current needs of the students of Pharmaceutical Sciences and related fields. Pharmacognosy is a branch of Pharmacy, enriched with the knowledge of new chemical entities or moieties having novel and diversified pharmaceutical applications. The chapters in this book have given more attention on the topics such as standardization of crude drugs along with adulterations. The contents on classification, isolation and standardization of herbal drugs/products have been well illustrated with vast coverage on emerging area of neutraceuticals. Along with this, some less explored areas such as “Zoopharmacognosy” have broadly discussed, and the topic like “Biosynthesis of Phytoconstituents” has been reviewed in detail. Marine resources of active constituents have been explored in depth in the chapter “Bioactive natural products from marine source.” The authors have elaborated very well about the isolation techniques of some phyto-constituents, under the section of “Alkaloids and Glycosides”. Another emerging area, Plant tissue culture has been discussed in detail. This area is considered as potential source to develop novel bioactive compounds. The historical background, nutritional requirements, types of tissue culture and applications have been reviewed and discussed in the chapter “Biotechnological approach for medicinal plants” In nut cell, the book covers not only the conventional and contemporary topics on Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry but also convolutes the novel topics; well supported by illustrations, figures, flowcharts, key messages etc on a single platform.
