The ConPhyMP checklist
The ConPhyMP is a consensus statement/checklist, which provides guidance for researchers reporting the starting plant materials, and the chemical methods utilised for defining the chemical compositions of the plant extracts used in such studies. The primary audiences for the ConPhyMP statement/checklist are authors in medicinal plants research as well as the peer reviewers and editors assessing such research for publication. Hence, assisting the production of evidence-based guidance of studies utilising medicinal plant extracts. While they are not primarily intended to guide the conduct of studies, familiarity with reporting requirements will be useful for researchers when planning studies.
The ConPhyMP checklist comprises two tables with accompanying explanatory figures. The first table consists of 5 items and provides recommendations for reporting the plant material used in pharmacological, toxicological and clinical research. The second table consists of 5 items and presents recommendations for conducting and reporting the analytical methods for defining the chemical profile based on the type of extracts used in research (e.g., extract types A, B, and C).
Please select type of study:
Please select type of extract:
- Extract type A (for species or botanical drug is covered in a monograph in any one of the national or regional pharmacopoeias).
- Extract type B (for species or botanical drug under investigation is a widely used or traded one without a monograph in a national or international pharmacopoeia)
- Extract type C (for species or botanical drugs derived from plants not used widely)
