Himalayan yew- Taxus baccata to fight cancer

Buy Taxus baccata
Taxol, an effective anti-cancer drug that was approved for use in the US last year, will soon be available in India at half the cost

The Dabur laboratary where tax CAPITALISING on more than 100 years of expertise in plant product chemistry, Dabur, one of India's largest Ayurvedic formulation manufacturers, has now ventured into modern pharmaceutical research and product development. Dabur recently announced that it had perfected a method to extract taxol -- a potent drug used to treat ovarian and breast cancers -- from the leaves of the Himalayan yew (Taxus baccata).

Says Anand Burman, director of research and development at Dabur, "We cannot compete with the big players in the synthetic pharmaceutical business, so we are limiting our efforts to what we know best -- natural plant products and extracts."

Though discovered in the early 1960s, taxol was cleared for use in the US only in January 1993 after evaluating the side-effects of the extract and the solvent used to administer it. Also, extracting taxol is extremely difficult and expensive.

Taxol was first extracted in minute quantities from the bark of the Pacific yew (Taxus brevifolia), but Dabur succeeded in obtaining it from the leaves of the Himalayan yew. The Dabur drug has been sent for pre-marketing clinical trials to Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi, the Apollo Cancer Hospital in Madras and the Tata Memorial Hospital in Bombay. Says an excited P S Srinivasan, general manager at Dabur, "For the first time, a drug will be released in the Indian market soon after it has been introduced abroad."

The drug Dabur plans to sell in India will cost about half of what it does abroad because it is cheaper to extract taxol from leaves than bark. Also, higher quantities of taxol can be extracted from leaves. A patient requires about 8 courses of the drug -- a total of about 1.7 gm of taxol -- and according to Burman, this would cost almost Rs 3 lakh abroad.

Dabur has already invested Rs 11.5 crore in the taxol project, of which about Rs 4 crore is in research alone. The Rs 7.5 crore plant set up at Sahibabad has a capacity to produce about 600 gm of taxol a month. They eventually hope to raise production to about 2 kg per month.

Dabur reckons only about 3,000 patients in India will need the drug every year. It plans to export the drug after obtaining a worldwide patent on the extraction process.

Scientists at the Dabur Research Foundation have not only managed to extract taxol, they have also been able to obtain fairly large amounts of a taxol intermediate called baccatin. Converting the baccatin to taxol, using chemicals, has been achieved only at a laboratory scale yet.
Dabur scientists claim that their process of extracting taxol -- using various solvents and sophisticated separation equipment -- from leaves is far less destructive to the tree and the environment than deriving it from the bark. Once the bark is stripped off, the tree usually dries up and dies.

However, the Himachal Pradesh-based Himalaya Nature and Environment Preservation Society has protested against Dabur's exploitation of yew leaves from forests in the state. According to a forestry expert associated with the society, Dabur hired contractors to lop off entire branches of the tree, affecting the health of the slow-growing conifer. Moreover, the society contends the royalty paid to the forest department is meagre and only a little of it reaches the local people.

Dabur claims it is conscious of the need to conserve the yew. It is to initiate a project to identify varieties of yew that have high taxol content and to propagate them using tissue culture techniques. They also plan to set up yew plantations in Uttar Pradesh and Nepal.

He also informed that all States/ UTs have been asked to furnish lists of Doctors / Medical Institutes who would be authorised to issue the Compulsory Health Certificates to the eligible Yatris in their respective States/ UTs. The CEO informed that the lists of Doctors/ Medical Institutes from the States/ UTs will be put on the website as soon as these are received.

The CEO appealed to all intending Yatris to early complete the necessary formalities for Registration and timely obtain a Yatra Permit, in their own interest, so that they do not face any
inconvenience on the date of their Yatra.

Amnesty International In India

Buy Medicinal herbal seeds
Amnesty India is a global movement of people fighting injustice and promoting human rights.
India's recent rapid economic growth and industrial development have marked it as an emerging world power. However, as India races forward in the 21st century , accumulating wealth and influence on the world stage, the situation within the country is precarious for many.

India’s development is a story of success for many thousands, but a story of deprivation and neglect for millions more. Entire swaths of the population are being left behind with few resources for individual survival, let alone personal gain. Old issues such as caste, gender and religious discrimination only make it harder for people living in poverty to access their rights. The economic boom, while bringing success and wealth to some, has also exacerbated the abuse of human rights of others, and little investment in human rights education.

India has a long history of democracy and a constitutional commitment to equal rights for all. Amnesty International in India aims to support civil society’s efforts to ensure human rights for all by upholding the country’s constitution and its obligations under international law.

Amnesty International has a long record of working to promote human rights for people all over the world, including in India. Most recently, we supported the Dongria Kondh Adivasi community's struggle to safeguard their traditional lands and way of life from a proposed bauxite mine in the Niyamgiri Hills, Orissa. The Indian government's rejection of Vedanta's plans to mine bauxite in the Hills was a victory for the Dongria Kondh community and human rights groups fighting for their cause. We also have supported the fight for justice for survivors of the Bhopal gas tragedy.

Amnesty International recognizes the urgent need to be a part of India’s vibrant human rights movement. Drawing on over 50 years of experience as a global campaigning movement, but led and funded by people in India, and directed by their dreams and aspirations, Amnesty International in India is a movement with deep Indian roots. We are working to both raise awareness of human rights issues, and provide much-needed investment in human rights education and awareness. An important long-term effort will be to create a society that upholds human rights and respects equality for all.

Over the next few years, our work will focus on issues such as the impact of mining on the local populations’ right to a healthy environment, the rights of Indigenous Peoples , forced evictions and the rights of slum dwellers in India's metropolises , and the abuses in the criminal justice system, especially the lack of due process and right to a fair trial.

One of our primary campaigns will concentrate on implementing human rights education in India’s schools and universities. By empowering young people and promoting the active participation of all members of the school community, the Human Rights Friendly Schools project aims to integrate human rights values and principles such as equality, dignity, respect, non-discrimination and participation, in all areas of school life. The project will draw on the experiences of 14 countries worldwide (from Morocco to Mongolia), to tackle barriers to the implementation of India’s recent legislation guaranteeing the right to universal education. We plan to work with 100 schools within the first two years of the programme. We will start with schools in the city of Bangalore, and will expand our work to schools in smaller towns and villages.

Amnesty International in India needs your help in these crucial early years. We appeal to you to support us in building and sustaining our work on human rights issues and human rights education in India.
