Prospect of herbal drugs in the age of globalization - Indian scenario
423-431There are 2,50,000 known
species of higher plants on the Earth and some more may be discovered. Of
these, only six per cent have been analysed chemically and only a small fraction
pharmacologically. According to pharmacopoeia of the world, at least 119 distinct
chemical substances derived from plants are important drugs currently-used
within 62 therapeutic categories, and 91 species are the source of these drugs.
India
has a vast reservoir of 400, 000 Ayurvedic, Siddha, Uninani or Homoeopathic
practioners, hardly used adequately in the health care delivery system. Nearly
80 per cent of drugs used in Indian system of medicine and homoeopathy are
derived from plants. With 46, 000 licensed pharmacies manufacturing and satisfying
the needs of traditional remedies, large-scale cultivation of medicinal plants
must be planned. A number of CSIR laboratories, University departments and
hospitals, other scientific institutions are participating in the further
evaluation and finetuning of such drugs through use of modern methods and
tools. With pooled resources, efforts are being made to reach the goal of
development of new drugs, herbal preparations, pest management agents,
bio-enhancers, and drug delivery systems. A few examples have been presented in
the face of globalisation and WTO
