Organised drugs consist of the cellular
organization in the form of anatomical
features. These are mostly the crude drugs
from plant sources. Almost all of the
morphological plant parts or the entire plant
itself can be called as an organized drugs .
Eg. Cinchona bark, Sandalwood, Rauwolfia
roots, Nux Vomica seeds
Microscopically and anatomical studies are
preeminent for such drugs. These can be
used directly in medicine or can be used by
modifying or by extracting the active
ingredient from it.

 Organised drugs consist of the cellular

organization in the form of anatomical

features. These are mostly the crude drugs

from plant sources. Almost all of the

morphological plant parts or the entire plant

itself can be called as an organized drugs.

Eg. Cinchona bark, Sandalwood, Rauwolfia

roots, Nux Vomica seeds

 Microscopically and anatomical studies are

preeminent for such drugs. These can be

used directly in medicine or can be used by

modifying or by extracting the active

ingredient from it.

 Crude drugs are classified according to

kingdom, subkingdom, division, class, order,

family, genus and species as follows.

 The crude drugs of plant origin are classified

on the basis of one of the accepted systems

of botanical classification. A large number of

plant families have certain distinguishing

characteristics that permit crude drugs from

these families to be studied at one time.

Merits-

Taxonomical classification is helpful for

studying evolutionary developments

Demerits-

This system also does not correlate in

between the chemical constituents and

biological activity of the drugs.

Note-this system of classification is criticized

for its failure to recognize the organized and

unorganized nature of the crude drug.
