Medicinal plants are the primary subject matter of pharmacognosy, as evidenced by their joint discussion in bioprospecting research [1] and their explicit pairing in academic literature titles [2]. Furthermore, pharmacognosy provides the systematic procedures for evaluating the therapeutic properties of these medicinal plants [3].

procedureThe procedure for evaluating medicinal plants for anti-infective properties involves: (1) selecting plant species based on traditional use, (2) subjecting the plants to extraction processes to obtain crude extracts or essential oils, (3) evaluating the extracts for their ability to inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms, (4) confirming inhibitory activity via dose-dependent assays (MIC), (5) performing targeted assays to identify active constituents, (6) selecting and refining the most active fractions, and (7) using chemical testing and contemporary pharmacognosy to determine the composition of the final fraction.
