Pharmacognosy deals with the study of the drugs of natural origin. “The study of the physical, chemical, biochemical and biological properties of drugs, drug substances or potential drugs or drug substances of natural origin as well as the search for new drugs from natural sources.” Pharmacognosy, a long-established pharmaceutical science, has played a diverse role in the discovery, characterization, production and standardization of these drugs. Pharmacognosy is essential for the evolution of new medicines because crude drugs are used for the preparation of galenicals or as sources of therapeutically active metabolites- a vital link between pharmacology and medicinal chemistry.
