The 'What' and 'Why' of Herbal Medicine Analysis

Modernizing the old art of plant medicine practice requires addressing the three interrelated issues of ‘quality’, ‘safety’, and ‘efficacy’. The 'pharmaceutical quality' of plant medicines is critically important as it does also affect the efficacy and safety of  these drugs....More

Pharmacognosy

The word "Pharmacognosy" derived from two Greek words, "pharmakon" (drug), and "gnosis" (knowledge). Pharmacognosy today ... More


Bioassays

In vitro molecular & cellular effects of therapeutic agents:  enzymatic, fluorometric, colourimetric, ELISA, radiometric, kinetic and enzyme-based assays; robust primary screening and secondary functional assays; etc. Select specific bioassay area from the menu on the left.


Chromatography

Though hundreds of compounds are known to occur in a crude natural products (e.g. herbal) preparations, very small number of structurally distinct compounds are often responsible for the desired pharmacological effect. Modernising the use of such medical preparations and/or addressing the 'quality', 'safety' and 'efficacy' issues of crude natural products  calls for the  isolation/separation of  active principles by using various chromatographic techniques....  HPLC, TLC…..

Spectroscopy

Characterisation of small molecular weight compounds from synthetic or natural sources require the utilization of a range of spectroscopic methods. We are privileged to have  various methods at our disposal including UV, IR, MS and NMR....More
