Medicinal Chemistry Department

Extraction and Isolation of Active Ingredients from Medicinal Plants and  Evaluation of their Biological Activities

The course includes chromatographic isolation of chemical constituents from bioactive medicinal plants using different methods as HPLC, glass columns, paper chromatography, thin layer chromatography using different adsorbents as silica gel, polyamide, sephadex .

 Identification of the chemical structure of the isolated compound using different spectroscopic analysis as mass spectroscopy, proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet and infrared radiation techniques will also be studied.

Assessment of   the different biological activities as antioxidant techniques, antimicrobial and measuring cytotoxicity using brine shrimp method will also be performed.

Duration:  10 days

Fees:  1000 EGP for Egyptians / 150$ for non-Egyptians
