Ancient archaeological records of medicinal plants 3500 BCE - India had an extensive pharmacopoeia. Much of that knowledge is still used as part of the Ayurveda medical system 2250 BCE - Egypt and Babylon were trading medicinal plants 900 BCE - Archaeological records demonstrate the use of medicinal and psychoactive plants in the New World 330 BCE - One of the Theophrastus’s students, Alexander the Great, sent medicinal plants from Asia back to Greece for cultivation 2000 YA - The first written Chinese records although use is probably as ancient as ndia’s 

صفحه 4:
Use of Medicinal Plants * Use of medicinal plants developed from informal experimentation and based on a general familiarity with medicinal plants. This knowledge was amassed via experimentation over many generations and was handed down orally from person to person - often woman to woman in traditional cultures.

History of Herbals * Dioscorides, in the 1st Century AD, was a Greek physician who described the medicinal properties of plants - he described the use of 500 species of plants in his book De Materia Medica * The first herbal written in the Anglo-Saxon world was an 11th Century book known as the Herbarium of Apuleius Platonicus * The first herbal to break from Dioscorides and print descriptions of local flora, with accurate drawings of the plants was by Leonhart Fuchs, his extremely well illustrated herbal De Historia Stirpium was published in 1543

Lyte published an English translation of Rembert Dodoen’s herbal Stirpium Historiae Pemptades Sex which was valued because of its all inclusive treatment of many plants and excellent plates illustrating flowers

Best English Herbals In 1597, John Gerard published his outstanding book The Herball, Or Generall Historie of Plantes - it is a huge volume of 1392 pages and 2200 woodcut illustrations of plants - it was widely used by physicians and became widely quoted and referenced - the book has remained in print for 400 years The last major herbal published in English was John Ray’s herbal, published in 1688 - it is also a major taxonomic work and Ray was the first person to divide the flowering plants into two main groups - the dicots and monocots

Withering’s work on Foxglove Began experiments with foxglove in 1775 - Withering had heard about an old family cure for dropsy Reported his findings in a paper published in 1785, “An Account of the Foxglove and Some of its Medical Uses” Powdered foxglove leaf is still prescribed in tablets or capsules to treat congestive heart failure The somewhat crude powdered drug is called Digitalis after the plant Foxglove produces more than 30 different cardiac glycosides - two in particular - Digoxin and Digitoxin are produced from foxglove and prescribed to heart patients around the world today

Urgent need to study medicinal plants The utility of plants in current therapy There has been a rush to develop synthetic medicines based on plant medicines, but often the synthetic medicines don’t work as well as the original plant medicines. For example - quinine and malaria 

صفحه 25:
Efficacy of Quinine Quinine is traditional and effective preventative of malaria Synthetic preventatives such as chloroquine, maloprim, and fansidar have largely replaced the use of quinine Many strains of Plasmodium have developed resistances to the synthetics and the synthetics are more toxic. It is recommended that people do not take fansidar for more than 3 months due to potential liver damage.

Timeline of Quinine Use 1633, a Jesuit priest named Father Calancha described how to use quinine bark to cure fevers 1645 Father Bartolome Tafur took some bark to Rome and many of the clergy used it Cardinal John de Lugo wrote a pamphlet to be distributed with the bark - use of the bark became so widespread that in the papal conclave of 1655 no one died of malaria 1654 - English aware of use of quinine bark 1735, a French botanist named Joseph de Jussieu journeyed to South America and found and described the tree that is the source of the bark - he sent samples to Sweden where in 1739, Carl Linneaus named the tree genus Cinchona 

صفحه 33:
Timeline of Quinine Use ۰ 20 to 40 species of Cinchona - the species are very hard to tell apart and the species will hybridize, so the exact number of species is unknown - mostly understorey trees ¢ 1820 the French chemists Joseph Pelletier and Joseph Caventou isolated the alkaloid quinine from the bark and identified it was the active ingredient in Peruvian bark ¢ 1861, an Australian named Charles Ledger obtained seeds from an Aymara Indian named Manuel Incra by 1930, the Dutch orchards in Java produced 22 million pounds of quinine, 97% of the world’s market

Properties of Quinine * Quinine itself is an odorless white powder with an extremely bitter taste * It can be used to treat cardiac arrhythmias as well as malaria - it is also used as a flavoring agent * Quinine prevents malaria by suppressing reproduction of the Plasmodium protozoan and also helps prevent some of the fevers and pain associated with malaria

صفحه 44:
Uses of Aconitum ٠ In Europe the plant has been used as a liniment or tincture in the treatment of neuralgia, sciatica, and rheumatism, and taken internally to alleviate fevers. * In India and China the plant is still used in treatment. In the raw state, tubers are applied to the skin as a surface anaesthetic and to treat lumbar and leg pains, neuralgia and rheumatoid arthritis. After much processing it is used for cardiotonic and diuretic properties. * Acontine is an alkaloid derived from monkshood - used in heart medicines, common cough medicines, and used in fly control in Europe since 1240

Magendie uses strychine in clinical medicine. * 1824 - Pelletier and Caventou isolate strychine from upas tieute * 1963 - total synthesis of strychine by Woodward et al.

Strychnos * Interestingly there are about 200 species in the genus Strychnos but only 6 actually contain strychine - in particular S. nux- vomica, S. ignatii (St. Ignatius’ bean), S. colubrina (snake wood) and S. guianensis. Strychine is commonly used in rat poison. It has been used to stimulate circulation, but that cannot be recommended because it frequently poisons the patient.

صفحه 57:
Anti-tumor medicines from Arrow Poisons? ٠ There is a possibility that plants producing arrow poisons may also have value in producing anti-tumor medicines. Spjut and Perdue (1978) surveyed 76 species from 63 enera in 29 families and found that 46 of the species had been screened for anti- tumor activity. Of these 52% of the species and 75% of the genera had been found to have anti-tumor activity. This high anti- tumor activity probably comes from the fact that arrow poison plants almost all produce cardenolide glycosides that are cytotoxic (kill cells). 

صفحه 58:
Herbal Medicines Today * Though many modern cultures make extensive use of herbal remedies, most notably in India and China, much of Western medicine has moved away from herbal medicines. In Great Britain there is still a tradition of homeopathic doctors and herbal Culpeper Shops. Homeopathy is based on using minute quantities of substances that in massive doses produce effects similar to those of the disease being treated.

Medicines from Plants ¢ About 25% of the prescription drugs used in the western world have active ingredients that are derived from plants - often the only way to acquire these drugs is through growing and harvesting the plants because synthetic substitutes are not as effective. * 89 plant derived drugs that are currently used in western medicine as prescription medicines were discovered by studying folk knowledge of the plant’s properties
