Summary/Abstract: Objectives: – Illustration of a former member of CRIFS and CRIFST, Dr. Chem. Constanța Rizescu and her contributions to the research and development of autochthonous medicinal plants; – Contributions to the development of drug nomenclature through applicative research for health benefit and for population. Materials: Inventor Certificates granted by the State Office for Inventions and Trademarks (OSIM), Romania, between 1968– 1980; Therapeutic Index 1976; FPA and CV – Constanta Rizescu. Results: Groups of Romanian researchers, specialists (phar macists, chemists, physicians), employees with labor contracts in drug factories and chemico-pharmaceutical research insti tutes had obtained more than 40 patents and had filed as many Inventor Certificates Claims (Files), registered at OSIM, Romania, between 1968–1980. A brief analysis of the Certificates’ titles reflects the orientation of these researchers towards the obtaining of medicinal herbs and medicinal forms, necessary for medical and pharmaceutical assistance in our country. Through this activity in the second half of the 20th century, which was attended by the chemist Dr. Constanţa Rizescu (1932–2017), a major contribution was made to the development of the pharmaceutical industry by the capi talization of the indigenous raw materials.
