From the preface Chapter 1 attempts to provide a lay of the land and strategies to navigate through the available regulatory and market landscape through innovation and standardization. Herbal supplements are the fastest growing segment of the nutraceuticals market in the United States. A brief potpourri of herbs from different streams of traditional medicine which have become main stay in many herbal therapies and the identified active compositions are covered in chapter 2. A herbal preparation is by definition chemically complex as it contains many naturally occurring compounds of the plant or plant part. In contrast classic plant derived drugs such as atropine ephedrine quinine reserpine and scopolamine are single chemical entities. Although they are extracted from plants they are isolated and purified to make modern conventional drugs and thus cannot technically be considered for equivalent use as the plant forms. Herbs are graded in commerce and there are generally anywhere from three to five distinct grades. Herbal therapeutic formulas are often based on traditional uses of the plant species in one geographical area but commercial production often sources or grows the species somewhere else and the active contents may be different. These unregulated trading practices fuelled by the growth of the market frequently obscure the origin of the plant material and facilitate adulterations. Some of these practices with adverse consequences have damaged the reputation of otherwise relatively safe plants. Science based marketing has advantages in global market place. A key trend of globalization is the growing importance of globally acceptable quality standards. Herbal healthcare segment consists of an assortment of kitchen companies. The products manufactured by these unorganized players vary in quality and purity resulting in the end consumer receiving non standard products. The primary roadblocks to this credibility the industry currently faces are lack of product standardization and quality control and absence of documentary evidence for clinical efficacy. The first set of questions faced by every manufacturer from the regulatory agencies is about the scientific evidence that the product contains all that is claimed on the label and how does it actually work. The whole process of plant based medicines from plant to pill has to go through a phase of standardization in which there are strict quality controls throughout the value chain. Standardization is the process of analyzing a herb so that one or more of its key constituents is present in a predefined standard amount. The idea behind standardization is to ensure that each dose recommended contains consistent amount of the key ingredients that give desired and reproducible therapeutic effects. This demand could be for product registration or regulatory purposes or to satisfy customer needs about product quality and efficacy. All herbal remedies rely on evidence collected from many centuries of use by native populations but may not fit with the requisite model of randomized double blind placebo controlled trials that's considered the gold standard for western medicine. Chapter 3 focuses on discussion about good agricultural practices good manufacturing practices good laboratory practices and good clinical practices and other ISO standards such as ISO 9001 2005 and ISO 17025. Codex standards are also increasingly being used as a benchmark for global trade all medicinal plant exporting countries like India and China have increased their participation in codex committees to ensure that domestic conditions are reflected in the development of international safety standards. Chapter 4 discusses about the scientific measurement framework.…

Paperback. Condición: As New. New. From the Preface Pharmaceutical Sciences in today's world is a complex and fast evolving entity encompassing coverage of so many fields like chemistry botany biochemistry microbiology biotechnology anatomy/physiology medicine research logistics marketing microbiology pharmaceutical products production aseptic/sterile processing pharmaceutical engineering quality control quality management regulatory affairs corporate processes packaging etc. As biotechnology has become an undeniable part of the pharmaceutical industry though it prudent to bring out such a dictionary that combined the two intertwined fields in one volume and at the same time to present the latest and cutting edge technological terms that are encountered today. The author have dispensed with older and archaic terms for products processes and concepts that are no longer valid today or are of not much use to the modern pharmaceutical scientists being mainly of historical importance. The thrust therefore of this volume has been on current and contemporary knowledge rather than history and origin of pharmaceutical sciences. 356 pp.…

Hardbound. Condición: As New. New. Contents Preface. Abbreviations. 1. Introduction to phytochemicals. 2. Phytochemicals. 3. References. 4. Therapeutic index. 5. Medicinal plants index. 6. About the editor. The skyrocketing cost of research for therapeutic molecules from purely synthetic chemistry has prompted the resurgence of interest in traditional herbal medicine. While clinical usage of such herbs has been extensively documented in ancient texts exhaustive plant profiles are lacking for most plants especially with regard to phytochemicals and their biosynthetic pathways. This shortage of information coupled with increasing information demands of modern validation procedures of manufactures of herbal medicinal products and the demand of increasingly well informed regulatory authorities worldwide is putting increasing pressure on scientists and technologists to come up with such information. In addition researchers involved with ethnobotanical bioprospecting from the pharmaceutical industry and academic research institutes are also on the lookout for such information. Towards that end this book has been compiled to contribute to such a knowledge base where concise and practical information has been provided on about 1 300 phytochemicals form 850 medicinal plants most of them being of Indian origin. The unique feature of this book is that to keep it manageable the coverage has been restricted to those phytochemicals that show promise as a future therapeutic molecule based on extensive experience of the editor as MD alternative medicine. Information provided on each phytochemical includes generic name chemical class molecular weight and formula melting point boiling point physical form solubility CAS number biological source biological action and chemical structure with stereochemistry. 332 pp.…
