Abstract

Pharmacology originated as a branch of Physiology. The application of the scientific method for conducting studies on drugs was originated in France. A drug is substance used for the treatment of diseases. Drugs are obtained from vegetable, animal, and mineral sources. The old material Medical was rich in drugs of vegetable origin. The roots, leaves and barks were used for the treatment of disease. Plant products like quinine, morphin, ephedrine, and digitoxin are important drugs. These are derived from living cells, which have a lethal action on foreign microorganisms, and so are termed as antibiotics. This paper presents aspects of Tephrosia purpurea (L) as one of the important drug plant used for medicine.
