This document discusses different methods of classifying crude drugs, including alphabetical, taxonomic, morphological, chemical, pharmacological, and chemotaxonomic classification. Each system is described briefly, along with its merits and demerits. The chemical and pharmacological classification systems group drugs based on their active chemical constituents and therapeutic effects, making these methods scientifically useful for studying crude drugs and recommending substitutes. However, chemical classification can result in confusion when drugs contain multiple compounds.

Pharmacognosy is "the study of the physical, chemical, biochemical and biological properties of drugs, drug substances or potential drugs or drug substances of natural origin as well as the search for new drugs from natural sources".
Crude drugs are plant, animal or their parts which after collection are subjected only to drying or making them into transverse/ longitudinal slices pieces or peeling them in some cases. They exist in natural form.
Crude drugs may be derived from various natural sources like Plants, Animals, Minerals, Marine and Micro-organisms etc

d) Drug adulteration.
Medicinal plants have been identified and used throughout human history. Plants make many chemical compounds that are for biological functions, including defence against insects, fungi and herbivorous mammals. At least 12,000 such compounds have been isolated so far; a number estimated to be less than 10% of the total.Chemical compounds in plants mediate their effect on the human body through processes identical to those already well understood for the chemical compounds in conventional drugs; thus herbal medicines do not differ greatly from conventional drugs in terms of how they work. it is important to know various factors that affects medicinal plant cultivation.
Coriander is a spice produced from the round, tan-colored seeds of the coriander plant (Coriandrum sativum), which is a member of the parsley family. The word coriander can be used to describe the entire plant: leaves, stems, seeds, and all.

Crude drugs are derived from a variety of natural sources like plants, animals, minerals, and microorganisms. Because of their wide distribution, the arrangement or classification of drugs in a particular sequence is necessary for their easy understanding.
For pharmacognostic study crude drugs are classified as follows:
Alphabetical classification
Chemical classification
Pharmacological classification
Morphological classification
Taxonomical classification
Chemo taxonomical classification
Each of these systems of classification has its merits and demerits.
In order to pursue (or to follow) the study of the individual drugs, one must adopt some particular sequence of arrangement, and this is referred to as a system of classification of drugs.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Classification of crude
drugs
Alphabetical Classification
Taxonomical (Biological) Classification
Morphological Classification
Chemical Classification
Pharmacological (Therapeutical) Classification
Chemotaxonomic Classification
3. Alphabetical Classification
• The crude drugs are arranged according to the alphabetical order of their Latin and English names.
• Some of the Pharmacopoeias and reference books which classify crude drugs according to this system are as
follows:-
1) Indian Pharmacopoeia 2) British Pharmacopoeia 3) British Herbal Pharmacopoeia
4) United States Pharmacopoeia and National Formulary 5) British Pharmaceutical Codex 6) European
Pharmacopoeia.
Example :- Acacia, Ergot, Fennel, Myrrh, Nux vomica, Opium, Bees wax, Cinchona.
Merits :-The system is easily and quick use.
Location, tracking and adding drugs entries can be done easily
Demerits :- Scientific nature of the drug cannot be identified by this method, whether they are organized or
unorganized drug.
4. Taxonomical (Biological) Classification
• This drugs are classified according to plants (crude drugs) or animals from which they are
obtained in phylum, division, orders, families, genera, species, subspecies, etc.
• Merits:- Easy for the classification of crude drugs.
• Demerits :- It fails to recognized organized & unorganized nature of crude drugs in their
morphological studies.
• The system fails to face into an account chemical nature of active constituent and
therapeutic significance of crude drugs.
Phylum Spermatophyta
Division Angiospermae
Class Dicotyledons
Order Rosales
Family Leguminosae
Sub-family Papilionaceae
Genus Glycyrrhiza, Astragalus
Species Glycyrrhiza glabra, Astragalus gummifer
5. Morphological Classification
• The crude drugs are grouped according to the part of the plant or animal
represented in to organized and unorganized drugs.
TYPE OF CRUDE DRUGS EXAMPLES
ORGANISED DRUGS
Represent the parts of a plant and made up of
cells.
Fruits :-Coriander, Fennel
Leaves :-Vasaka, Datura, Senna, Degitalis
Bark :-Cinchona, Cinnamon
Seed :- Nux-Vomica, Isapghula
Root :-Rauwolfia, Liquorice
Flower :- Clove, Saffrone
UNORGANISED DRUGS
Does not contain plant part, but it is obtained
by varieties of extraction procedures.
Dried Extracts :- Agar, Black catechu, Pale
catechu
Fats :- Lard
Resins :- Colophony, jalap
Waxes :- Beeswax
Gum :- Acacia, Tragacanth
6. • Merits:- Identification and detection of adulteration using this system is not
difficult.
• Practical study by this classification is more.
• Demerits:- The chemical constituents have not correlation with the therapeutics
action.
• Repetition of drugs or plants may appear.
7. Chemical Classification
• The crude drugs are divided into different groups according to the chemical nature of
their most important constituent.
• Since, the pharmacological activity and therapeutic significance of crude drugs are
based on the nature of their chemical constituents, it would appear that chemical
classification of crude drugs is the preferred method of study.
• Few examples of the drugs under chemical classification are as follows :
• Glycosides :- Digitalis, Senna, Liquorice
• Alkaloids :- Nux vomica, Ergot, Cinchona, Datura
• Tannins :- Myrobalan, Pale catechu, Ashoka
• Volatile oils :- Peppermint, Clove, Garlic
• Merits:- Phytochemical studies are well performed through this system
• Demerits :- Confusion occurs when a drug contain many compounds belonging to
different groups
8. Pharmacological (Therapeutical) Classification
• This system of classification involves the grouping of crude drugs according to
the pharmacological action of their chief active constituent or their therapeutic
uses.
1.Drugs acting on gastro-intestinal tract :-
Bitters – Cinchona, Quassia
Carminatives – Dill, Cardamom
Emetics – Mustard, Ipecacuanha
Purgatives – Senna, Castor oil
Bulk laxatives – Agar, Ispaghula
10. 4.Drugs acting on autonomic nervous system :-
Adrenergics – Ephedra
Cholinergics – Pilocarpus
Anticholinergics – Belladonna, Datura
5.Drugs acting on central nervous system :-
Central analgesics – Opium(Morphine)
CNS Stimulants – Coffee(Caffeine), Tea, Cocoa
CNS depressants – Belladonna
6.Anticancer :- Vinca, podophyllum.
7.Local Anaesthetics :- Coca
Merits:- The classification system aids in recommending substituents of an unavailable
drugs
Demerits:- Drugs with different action on the body get classified into many groups thus
create confusion.
11. Chemotaxonomic Classification
• Chemotaxonomy is a branch of taxonomy that uses the chemical characteristics of
organisms, particularly the presence and concentration of specific chemical compounds, as a
basis for classification. In the context of crude drugs, which are plant or animal materials
used for medicinal purposes in their unrefined form, chemotaxonomy can provide insights
into their classification based on their chemical constituents.
1.Alkaloids:
Many plants contain alkaloids, nitrogen-containing compounds that often have pharmacological
effects. Examples include morphine, quinine, and caffeine.
2.Glycosides:
Glycosides are compounds containing a sugar molecule and a non-sugar component (aglycone).
Examples include cardiac glycosides found in Digitalis species.
12. 3.Essential Oils:
Essential oils are volatile compounds responsible for the characteristic aroma of
plants. They often have medicinal properties. Examples include menthol from mint
and eucalyptol from eucalyptus.
4.Tannins:
Tannins are polyphenolic compounds that can have astringent properties. They are
found in many plant species, such as in the bark of some trees.
Merits:-This classification system is recent and provide better understanding of the
relation ship between chemical constituents , their biosynthesis and action
Demerits:- It is complex to recognize the chemical in plants Hence it is also a time
consuming process
