The American Society of Pharmacognosy (ASP) is a scientific society that promotes the growth and development of pharmacognosy through presentation of research achievements and publication of meritorious research.
ASP was founded in 1959 as an outgrowth of the Plant Science Seminar established in 1923. ASP currently has over 1,100 active and associate members. Appromimately 40 percent of the active members reside outside the U.S. and Canada and represent more than 60 countries throughout the world.
Pharmacognosy includes the study of the physical, chemical, biochemical and biological properties of drugs, drug substances, or potential drugs or drug substances of natural origin as well as the search for new drugs from natural sources. Research problems in pharmacognosy include studies in the areas of phytochemistry, microbial chemistry, biosynthesis, biotransformation, chemotaxonomy, and other biological and chemical sciences.
