Focus of the database content is the plant with description of their botanical characteristics, and history of discovery of therapeutic use, etymology, and synonyms. Apart the botanical characterisation there is information on both medical relevant biochemical compounds and their physicochemical characteristics, and toxicological as well as pharmaceutical facts. These data sets determine the basic system of MEDPHYT.}, issn = {3-540-24288-0}, language = {EN}, talktype = {none} }
