Welcome Letter

On behalf of the National Center for Natural Products Research, School of Pharmacy, and the University of Mississippi, we would like to welcome you to the “15th International Conference on the Science of Botanicals”. The Conference will be focusing on the progress in the botanical research and development, as well as regulatory and clinical aspects. Further information regarding this conference can also be found at www.oxfordICSB.org. This conference is supported by a cooperative agreement between the NCNPR and the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is co-sponsored by the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica/CAS, China; the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR – India); the Ministry of Indigenous Medicine; Sri Lanka; the American Society of Pharmacognosy (ASP); the Society for Medicinal Plant Research (GA); the Korean Society of Pharmacognosy; The Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST); the Dr. Panjwani Center for Molecular Medicine and Drug Research; International Council on Medicinal and Aromatic.

Professor Norman Farnsworth Dies at 81

Prof. Norman R. Farnsworth, a renowned medicinal plant researcher and a giant in the field of pharmacognosy, died September 12, 2011 in Chicago. Dr Farnsworth graduated with a degree in pharmacy from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy in 1953. He subsequently undertook postgraduate studies in pharmacognosy at the University of Pittsburgh, receiving his PhD in 1959. He was instrumental in instituting a pharmacognosy PhD program at the University of Pittsburgh and was its inaugural chair. In 1970, Prof. Farnsworth accepted a post in the College of Pharmacy at the University of Illinois, Chicago, serving as Departmental Head from 1970-1982. In this role he mentored more than 100 PhD students, 30 MS students and 30 postdoctoral fellows.Prof Farnsworth was a leading researcher in pharmacognosy, publishing hundreds of research papers in peer reviewed international journals. Furthermore, he co-founded the journals Phytomedicine and the International Journal of Phytotherapy and Phytopharmacology. His many other achievements include:• founding member of the American Society of Pharmacognosy (ASP) (1959).• founding member of the American Society of Economic Botany (1959).• creation of the Natural Products Alert (NAPralert) database at the University of Illinois.• Principal Investigator and Director of the Botanical Dietary Supplements for Women’s Health Centre, the University of Illinois.• co-founder of the American Botanical Council (ABC) and a long serving member of its board of trustees.• recipient of numerous international awards including the SEB’s Distinguished Economic Botanist Award in 1983.• member on the Commission on Dietary Supplements Labels, a commission established to develop recommendations for the review of quality, safety, benefits and labelling of dietary supplements.Prof Farnsworth has been an inspiration to many of us in the field of pharmacognosy and will be especially missed by his family and the numerous colleagues who have been fortunate in knowing this giant of pharmacognosy.

Interactions with Source Countries. Guidelines for Members of the American Society of Pharmacognosy

The formulation of a set of guidelines for members of the American Society of Pharmacognosy to follow in their relationship with genetically rich source countries has been discussed for several years. At the 37th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Pharmacognosy, held in July 1996 at the University of California, Santa Cruz, a resolution and set of guidelines promoting the research and training of source country scientists, the facilitation of technology transfer, and the fair and equitable sharing of results and benefits arising from the utilization and commercialization of source country natural resources were officially endorsed by the membership in attendance.

Intellectual property rights, naturally derived bioactive compounds, and resource conservation. Meeting report.

The first Interim Annual Meeting of the American Society of Pharmacognosy was held October 20-22, 1994, in San Jose, Costa Rica. In the symposium, which was the main scientific focus of the meeting, speakers from both developed and developing countries presented their perspectives on issues regarding intellectual property rights in regard to drug development from natural sources, conservation of natural habitats, and international conventions on bioprospecting. Careful evaluation of existing policies, laws, and conventions; sensitivity to the respective world views of prospective partners; equitable sharing of benefits including scientific collaboration; and a sense of fairness will be necessary to ensure that the genetic resources of all countries will be developed for the benefit of humankind.

ACS Copublishes Two Journal

Copublishing agreements between ACS and outside societies soon make two journals— Organic Process Research & Development and the Journal of Natural Products —available to society members. An agreement with Britain's Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) to publish the organic process journal is historic for ACS: its first international copublishing agreement. With both journals, try to take advantage of the strengths of each society, ACS Publications Division Director Robert H. Marks says. These are not copublication agreements in name only. Each society play a vital role, and we hope this inspire cooperation in many other areas. A separate agreement with the American Society of Pharmacognosy, founded in 1959, will help to disseminate information on the chemistry and biology of secondary metabolite natural products from plants, marine animals, and microorganisms to a wider segment of the scientific community than is possible currently, says A. Douglas Kinghorn, a professor of pharm...
