Abstract
The North-East region of India is one of the twelve mega biodiversity region, containing many rare and endangered species. A curated database of medicinal and aromatic plants from the regions called NeMedPlant is developed. The database contains traditional, scientific and medicinal information about plants and their active constituents, obtained from scholarly literature and local sources. The database is cross-linked with major biochemical databases and analytical tools. The integrated database provides resource for investigations into hitherto unexplored medicinal plants and serves to speed up the discovery of natural productsbased drugs.AvailabilityThe database is available for free at http://bif.uohyd.ac.in/nemedplant/orhttp://202.41.85.11/nemedplant/
Highlights
Of late, the role of medicinal plants as a primary source of prevention and management of diseases is being realized with alarming concerns [1,2]
A systematic comprehensive knowledgebase of medicinal plants is the need of the hour
The present database with integrated information on herbs, natural products, structural, physicochemical properties and analytical tools would be an ideal resource for information retrieval, pharmacological, bioinformatics and chemoinformatics analyses, to make new discoveries in the area, and direct further experimental investigations
Summary
The role of medicinal plants as a primary source of prevention and management of diseases is being realized with alarming concerns [1,2]. The use of plants to treat various diseases in ancient systems of medicine in India dates back to 3000-6000 BC [4]. We have developed an integrated database, referred as NeMedPlant with the purpose to facilitate the accessibility of the indigenous knowledge related to medicinal
