Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Pharmaceuticals, either natural or synthetic, are important from top to
ground people to survive with care. Traditional medicinal plants are the key for the
synthetic development of any drugs. Synthesis of an efficient drug depends on the
selectivity, affinity, efficiency, metabolic stability, and bioavailability of the
compound. This chapter gives very brief idea about Active Ingredient (AI), API,
Bactericidal, Bacteriostatic, Binders, Cross-screening, Brand, Generic, Effective
Dose Fifty (ED50), Inhibitory Concentration fifty (IC50), Lethal Dose Fifty (LD50),
Drug, Medicine, Broad-Spectrum, Narrow-Spectrum, ADME, DMPK,
Pharmacodynamics, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacology, Biopharmaceutical, Pro-
Drug, SAR, Synergistic action, in-vitro, in-vivo terms to begin freshly.
