Let's rejoice in the beautiful nature @ Natural Product Research Lab
Since its inception in the year 2018, NPRL @ CSIR-IICB is involved in the isolation and characterization of bio-active natural products from under-utilized, endangered, less-explored Indian Medicinal Plants toward the identification of potential bio-active leads with an ultimate aim to develop drugs i.e. "Phytopharmaceutical Drugs" and value-added formulations.
To achieve the ultimate goal we utilized high-end chromatographic and analytical tools integrated with the biological inputs from our collaborators.
At present NPRL is implementing major research programs for the development of "Phytopharmaceutical Drug" against Parkinsons' Disease, Cancer, and NAFLD.
Besides these, we are also focusing on the isolation of rare bio-active natural products as potential alpha-glucosidase inhibitors.
NPRL equally emphasizes the importance of formulation aspects of Natural Products and Phytopharmaceutical Drugs to enhance their water solubility, stability, and bio-accessibility.
