Abstract

Plants, on account of their curative effects, have been used by ancient people prior to the modern scientific advancement. The validity and utility of traditional ideas and concepts need to be scientifically tested and explained for their worldwide acceptance. In view of the fact that the curative parts of a medicinal plant are not simply its woody stem or its leaves, but the chemical compounds it produces for its own growth and development. Attempts have been made to analyse a number of medicinal species for their active chemical compounds. The present paper deals with some of the important medicinal species investigated by modern chemical and pharmacological techniques.
