About M. Mohi Uddin

Professor M. Mohi Uddin Chowdhury is a distinguished Professor and the Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Science and Technology Chittagong (USTC) in Chittagong, Bangladesh. He concurrently serves as the Acting Pro-Vice Chancellor of the university. Chowdhury holds an M.Pharm degree and has been recognized for his leadership in pharmacy academia. His career trajectory includes serving as Head of the Department of Pharmacy at Southern University Bangladesh, supported by his B.Pharm and M.Pharm degrees from the University of Dhaka. At USTC, he is actively involved in teaching postgraduate M.Pharm courses, contributing significantly to pharmaceutical education.

His research interests center on pharmacognosy, phytochemistry, and the pharmacological profiling of Bangladeshi medicinal plants. Chowdhury's studies elucidate the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, thrombolytic, membrane stabilizing, antidiarrheal, anxiolytic, hypoglycemic, and other therapeutic potentials of extracts from plants such as Curculigo orchioides, Byttneria pilosa, Averrhoa carambola, Ludwigia prostrata, Eclipta alba, Physalis micrantha, Leea macrophylla, Actinidia deliciosa, Lannea grandis, Gardenia coronaria, Lantana camara, Clerodendrum viscosum, Ixora villosa, Bidens sulphurea, Etlingera linguiformis, Premna esculenta, Uraria lagopoides, Urena lobata, Corchorus capsularis, Alpinia conchigera, Plumbago indica, Averrhoa bilimbi, Zizyphus mauritiana, Andrographis paniculata, Euphorbia hirta, and Urginea indica. Additionally, his expertise extends to novel drug delivery systems, including transdermal patches, buccal films, and effervescent floating tablets. With 48 peer-reviewed publications and 224 citations, his scholarly output underscores his impact in natural products research. Chowdhury employs rigorous methodologies like brine shrimp lethality assays, antimicrobial sensitivity tests, and in vivo animal models to validate bioactivities.

Among his notable publications are "Assessment of Phytochemical Screening, Antioxidant, Anti-inflammatory, Hypoglycemic, Antidiarrheal, and Anxiolytic Effects of Curculigo orchioides Leaf Extracts" (2025), "Chemical characterization and biological activity investigation of Curculigo orchioides Gaertn." (2025), "Phytochemical Screening and Pharmacological Investigations of Curculigo orchioides Leaf Extracts" (2024), "In vitro Anti-inflammatory, Antioxidant and Membrane Stabilization Activities of Leaf Extracts of Byttneria pilosa Roxb" (2024), "Screening of In-Vitro Membrane Stabilizing and Anti-Atherothrombosis Activities of Different Fractional Extracts of Ludwigia Prostrata Roxb Leaves" (2023), and "Antimicrobial and thrombolytic properties of four distinct traditional species" (2022). He was honored with the Best Paper Award in July 2018 for "Future drug delivery technologies: benchtop to industry" at a conference.
