Abstract

The North-East region of India is a one of the twelve mega biodiversity region, containing many rare and endangered species. A curated database of medicinal and aromatic plants from the region called NeMedPlant is developed. The database contains traditional, scientific and medical information about plants and their active constituents, obtained from scholarly literature and local sources. The database is cross-linked with major biochemical databases and analytical tools. The integrated database provides resource for investigations into hitherto unexplored medicinal plants and serves to speed up the discovery of natural products-based drugs.
