Requesting a complete biosensor system in phyto-sourced drug discovery and development
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Constituents from plant origins constitute about 25% of prescribed drugs in modern medication library. But the time taken from discovery to reaching the clinical therapy for a new drug in this field is approximately 12 years. In the modern scientific world, biosensors could lead to groundbreaking and positive changes in drug discovery and development with the potential applicability and advantageous facts coined as simplicity in use, higher sensitivity, rapidity, potential miniaturization, ease of handling, portability andeconomy: in comparison to well-established, lab-based conventional methods. Keeping a hope that biosensory can be an impending weapon in the phytomedical field of research, the present study is carried out through a comprehensive and systematic bibliographic search in articles and patents in the databases namely - Science Direct, Scopus, Pub Med, Web of Science, INPI, EPO, WIPO, USPTO, CIPO, and miscellaneous. As per acquired results, it is evident that there is no direct link to a complete phytotherapeutic research conducted using biosensors but the successful use of biosensors in other fields reflects a possibility of it making a tuneful continuation in the field of phyto drug discovery and development.
