Occurrence of phytochemicals and therapeutic uses across Indian medicinal plants:
In the figure below on the left, we show a histogram of the occurrence of phytochemicals across Indian medicinal plants in IMPPAT 3.0. In the figure below on the right, we show the distribution of therapeutic uses across Indian medicinal plants in IMPPAT 3.0.
Occurrence of plants and therapeutic uses across traditional medicinal formulations:
In the figure below on the left, we show a histogram of the occurrence of plants across traditional medicinal formulations in IMPPAT 3.0. In the figure below on the right, we show the distribution of therapeutic uses across traditional medicinal formulations in IMPPAT 3.0.
Distribution of physicochemical properties for phytochemicals in IMPPAT 3.0:
In the figure below, we show the distribution of six physicochemical properties, namely, molecular weight, log P, topological polar surface area, number of hydrogen bond (H-bond) donors, number H-bond acceptors, and number of rotatable bonds, across the 18314 phytochemicals in IMPPAT 3.0.
Earlier version
Earlier version of the Indian Medicinal Plants, Phytochemistry And Therapeutics (IMPPAT) database (version 2.0) corresponded to the published research article (

| Number of Indian medicinal plant | 4010 |
|---|
| Number of phytochemical | 17967 |
|---|
| Number of associations between plant - part - phytochemical | 189386 |
|---|
| Number of therapeutic use | 1095 |
|---|
| Number of associations between plant - part - therapeutic use | 89733 |
|---|
| Number of associations between phytochemical and human target protein (predicted) | 27365 |
