Phytochemistry


Phytochemistry is a branch of chemistry that deals with the study of plant secondary metabolites. This includes all aspect of chemistry from extraction and separations of plant constituents to structural elucidations using modern spectroscopic techniques.  Phytochemical methods are applied in routine herbal medicine standardisations as well as modern drug discovery researches. Recent  advances in modern analytical methods such NMR has now enabled us to isolate and characterise even minor constituents  of   purified natural  products.   Our exemplary work on phytochemical analysis is shown below - please see also  our   publication  page for various examples and  useful references.
