Collection of medicinal plants of the Atlantic Forest

Project 426

Problem to be solved:
• Limited availability of plant material with phytochemical standardization and lack of studies of therapeutic efficacy of herbal medicines for the R&D of drugs of vegetable origin of the Atlantic Forest
• Limited reproducibility of the characteristics of the raw material batch, resulting in problems related to the licensing of access to genetic resources

Proposed Innovation:
• In vivo and in vitro botanical collection with biological data of medicinal plants occurring in the Atlantic Forest with phytochemical and genetic information of the species
• Bank of standardized extracts of samples of each phenotype obtained from medicinal species

Differential:
Agility in all phases of R&D ensured by standardization of the material

Development status:
Implementation

What we want
Service delivery for R&D of drugs of plant origin
