Since ancient times, various scientists and doctors have utilized different herbs to heal diseases. Due to the rise in drug resistance and the negative effects of chemosynthetic drugs, researchers and the general public around the world have become more interested in medicinal herbs and plant metabolites/extracts. This is due to its non-toxicity and its several health benefits when used to treat diseases in clinical and medical settings. Ocimum basilicum is one such plant, possessing a wide range of bioactive phytochemicals including alkaloids, phenolics, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, reducing sugars, cardiac glycosides, steroids and glycosides, as well as complex pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant, wound healing and antiviral properties. The results of many studies on Ocimum basilicum plant extracts are collected and presented in this review. The plant extracts have excellent potential to be used as medicinal raw materials, and exhibit an extensive variety of therapeutic capacities, including antibacterial, antioxidant, wound healing, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antiviral properties.

Exploring phytochemicals from ethnomedicinal plants for pharmacological applications is a promising research area. By studying ethnomedicine, researchers can identify plants used for centuries to treat ailments and investigate their phytochemicals. Consequently, phytochemicals can be isolated, characterized, and tested for pharmacological activities, leading to new drug development. This research also helps preserve traditional knowledge and biodiversity. Lithospermum officinale L., found in Eurasia, Argentina (South), Colombia, and the United States, is valued for its medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial effects. The current review emphasizes L. officinale L. as a significant reservoir of bioactive phytochemicals, with alkaloids, quinones, glucosides, phenolics, flavonoids, and lipids identified as the principal metabolites. It also unveils the unexplored potential of this plant for future research endeavors. Continued research on L. officinale L. can unlock its full potential, providing insights into its medicinal uses and contributing to biodiversity preservation.

Background: In the contemporary context, a factor in the successful development of pharmaceutical organizations is the active use of information and communication tools both for work with customers and suppliers, and in the internal processes of economic activity. On the one hand, the introduction of IT technology allows us to ensure compliance with the requirements of the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan. On the other hand, it opens up great opportunities for improving the level of service for pharmacy visitors, contributes to the formation of greater loyalty to a particular pharmacy organization and, therefore, makes it more competitive and cost-effective. Aim: development of an automated control system for the movement of pharmaceutical products in pharmacies. Materials And Methods: we used basic research, including an analysis of the external and internal information system of a pharmacy organization (ISPO); informatization processes in the pharmaceutical market, pharmacy resources; scientific approaches to the study - systemic, logical-structural, process, marketing, regional. The objects of the study were pharmacy organizations, pharmaceutical workers in pharmacies, and software products. Results and Discussion: To conduct the study, a design was developed that includes a research program to improve the information and communication activities of retail pharmaceutical organizations. Following the program, the authors developed a questionnaire survey to study the informational needs of pharmacy workers. Based on the results of the research, the main directions for the use of information technologies in pharmacy were determined. The authors compiled a portrait of an IT user and identified the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats of using IT in pharmacies. Based on the Salesforce program, a modified system for controlling the movement of pharmaceutical products in pharmacies has been created.
