Advances In Natural Medicines, Nutraceuticals & Neurocognition

Pharmacognosy & Phytochemistry

Pharmacognosy is the study of natural compounds derived from plants, animals, and other natural sources, focusing on their chemical properties, medicinal uses, and therapeutic potential. Phytochemistry, a subset of pharmacognosy, explores the identification, isolation, and characterization of bioactive compounds from plants. This track will cover the scientific methods used to extract and analyze these compounds, along with their potential applications in modern medicine. Researchers will present findings on the pharmacological properties of phytochemicals, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and neuroprotective effects, highlighting traditional and contemporary uses in medicine. Additionally, this track will explore innovations in sustainable extraction techniques, ensuring the preservation of biodiversity while maximizing therapeutic potential. Discussions will also emphasize the role of phytochemicals in drug discovery, showcasing their contribution to developing novel treatments for complex diseases.
