Essays on Plants

Survey of the articles by G.A. Tolstikov, A.G. Tolstikov, T.G. Tolstikova

We are offering our readers the first publication devoted to phytochemistry and phytopharmacology, which has been prepared based on the materials supplied to the Editors by a dynasty of well-known Russian scientists: RAS Academician G.A. Tolstikov (Vorozhtsov Institute of Organic Chemistry, RAS Siberian Branch), RAS Corresponding Member A.G. Tolstikov ( RAS Presidium, Moscow), and Doctor of Biology T.G. Tolstikova (Vorozhtsov Institute of Organic Chemistry, RAS Siberian Branch).
The article dwells on the history of herb treatment, traditional and modern techniques of making drugs from plants, and also on alkaloids — drastic plants that have enjoyed a bad reputation long since but that can turn into medicine in skilful hands.
In the journal’s issues to come, we are going to give floor to the authors themselves, who will introduce us to the boundless world of plants — our friends, helpers, and doctors — and to the traditional and up-to-date technologies for making drugs out of low-molecular plants
