Herbal Products Development Workshop

Abstract

The workshop is essentially dealing with two aspects related to herbal medicine but they differ significantly in the approach and methodology involved in the process of drug discovery and development. These approaches, however, will either lead to the development of a standardised phytotherapeutical products based on the totality of the chemical ingredients present in a plant (i.e. herbal product) or the isolation of a single bioactive natural product of a herbal origin which will be subjected to long process of drug discovery and development entailing a substantial time, cost and advanced technology.
