Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry (Theory)

By Bhupendra S. Ahirrao, Anulipi Biswas & Disha Singh

Pharmacognosy sits at the meeting point of botany, chemistry, and pharmacy, and this book is built around a single idea that ties those strands together: the structure of a natural molecule governs what it does in the body, and the way a plant builds that molecule explains where it is found and how it is recognised. From the first chapter on biosynthetic pathways to the last on isolation and identification, the same thread runs through every crude drug, so that naming the chemical class of a constituent brings its origin, its chemical test, its solvent, and its action with it.

About This Book

This textbook for B. Pharm II Semester students follows the new Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) Syllabus 2026 (NEP 2020) for course BP205T. It provides a comprehensive understanding of pharmacognosy and phytochemistry, bridging traditional knowledge with modern pharmaceutical science.

The book is structured to help students understand the fundamental relationship between plant chemistry and pharmaceutical applications. Each chapter builds upon biosynthetic pathways, helping students grasp how natural molecules are formed in plants, their chemical structures, identification tests, and therapeutic applications. This approach enables students to predict and understand the properties of crude drugs based on their chemical constituents.
