AboutAbout the lab
Unraveling medicinal plants, medicines both ancient and new
The Medicinal Plant Chemistry Lab, together with the Medicinal Plant Garden affiliated with the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, works with plants that can be used as medicine (medicinal plants).
Humans have used plants as medicine since ancient times. What has been preserved through that experience is today's crude drugs.
The importance of plant-derived pharmaceuticals remains unchanged, and research on plants as a source of medicines is still developing.
The affiliated Medicinal Plant Garden is located next to the Kemigawa General Sports Ground, and its grounds include greenhouses and a research building.
Key terms
- Crude drug
- A medicine made by using the medicinally active part of a plant or similar source as is, or after simple processing such as drying
- Medicinal plant
- A plant whose roots, leaves, fruits, or other parts contain components that can be used as medicine
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to comprehensively analyze medicinal plants (crude drugs) and open up new uses for them. At the affiliated Medicinal Plant Garden, it works on cultivating medicinal plants.
