Intro to PCOG Flashcards
study of drugs of biologic origin
pharmacognosy
highly specialized science that deals with the biologic, biochemical and economic features of natural drugs and their constituents
pharmacognosy
physiologic or pharmacological activity; botanical sources, history, distribution, collection, etc
biologic
active constituent/s; biogenesis, synthesis, how the drugs are formed in the plant, pathway
biochemical
collection, propagation; how the drugs are produced
economic
manipulation of genes, proteins, and enzymes using biotechnology to influence the synthesis of active ingredient/constituent to lessen the toxicity and increase the percentage yield.
molecular pharmacognosy
t/f: molecular pcog is only applicable for crude drugs from PLANTS since they are
the only ones with genes
false. applicable to PLANTS AND ANIMALS
increase the sustainability of the origin/natural source to avoid depletion; involve proper collection and cultivation
ecopharmacognosy
t/f: green chemistry is applied to ecopharmacognosy, which uses LARGE VOLUME of solvents
false. USING LESS SOLVENTS to reduce and minimize harmful chemicals in our environment
study of the metabolites and its amount, formation, and presence in various stages of plant development
plant metabolomics
t/f: plant metabolomics determine the proper age and best time when to collect the plant part with the highest active metabolite
true
egyptian paper discovered in 1550 BC in the tomb of a mummy by GEORGE EBERS
papyrus ebers
scrolls of papers with 600 -700 citations of drugs from plants or animals
papyrus ebers
father of pharmacology
pedanios dioscorides
t/f: 600 plants known to have medicinal properties is contained in GALEN’S CERATE
false. it is contained in DE MATERIA MEDICA by Dioscorides
described method of preparing formula containing plant and animal drugs
claudius galen
father of extemporaneous compounding
claudius galen
standard medical preparation by galen
“galenicals”
iodine tincture, simple solution, liniments, elixir, simple syrup
“galenicals”
cold cream by galen
galen’s cerate
COINED the term “pharmacognosy”
CA Seydler
t/f: pharmakon mean “knowledge” and gnosis means “drug”
false. pharmakon means “drugs” and gnosis means “knowledge”
presented the most comprehensive idea of the scope of pharmacognosy
fluckiger
_____________________ is the simultaneous application of various scientific disciplines with the object of acquiring knowledge of drugs from every point of view
pharmacognosy by FLUCKIGER
first used the term “pharmacognosy”
johann adam schmidt
book by schmidt that describes the
study of plants and properties
lehrbuch der materia medica
Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim
paracelsus
isolated quintessence
paracelsus
botanical to chemical science
paracelsus
natural substances which have only undergone the process of collection and drying
crude drugs
collection, drying, and placing of solvent or menstruum
crude extract
t/f: crude drugs have extractives but no derivatives
false. crude drugs have extractives/derivatives w/c is the chief constituent of the drug
SOLVENT or liquid mixture which dissolves the chief constituents
Menstruum
Undissolved portion of the drug that remains after extraction; RESIDUE
Marc
Extract; product of extraction process
Extractive
Plants growing in their native regions without human intervention
Indigenous plants
Makabuhay (Tinospora rumphii, Menispermaceae) is only found in __________ countries with similar climate, humidity, temperature
Asian
Grow in a foreign land other than their native homes
Naturalized
Native, restricted to a certain place
Endemic
Found in a specified region and not seen in others, e.g., pili nuts (Bicol), waling-waling (Davao), tamaraw (Mindoro)
Endemic
[prep crude drug]
- Gathering of sample from the WILD
collection
[prep crude drug]
- Gathering of CULTIVATED sample for experiment
harvesting
t/f: harvesting may be by hand or by mechanical means (digitalis)
true
t/f: harvested crude drug is better than collected ones because it has one source and controlled environment (soil, pH, pesticide level, heavy metal content)
true
[prep crude drug] Removal of moisture to protect from microbial damage (inactivate enzymes); fixes the constituents, facilitate comminution, reduce bulk
Drying
t/f: drying crude drug can be by oven drying or air drying
true
special method of drying; enhance active
principles (wine); inactivate toxic principles
Curing
Cascara sagrada (Rhamnus purshiana) bark curing with ______________________ for a year
magnesium oxide (MgO)
[prep crude drug] FINAL STEP IN PREPARATION OF CRUDE DRUG
Garbling
[prep crude drug] Physical or mechanical removal of extraneous matter (soil, dirt, plant parts)
Garbling
collect only the needed/target parts during
collection/harvesting (first step)
direct garbling
stem, leaf, bark; for shrubs, trees, perennial plants
direct garbling
for herbs, annual plants
indirect garbling
final step in preparing crude drugs; removal of extraneous matter is done after drying
indirect garbling
[prep crude drug]Optional step; for protection from environmental conditions; & for marketability
Packaging, Storing, and Preservation
[Packaging, Storing, and Preservation]
Simplest method
exposure to 65°C
