       [size=12pt]A plant-based 'desi Viagr.a' is likely to roll out of
       Kerala's Tropical Botanical Garden and Research Institute (TBGRI
       )near here in under two years, says its director.
       TBGRI director A. Subramonian, principal investigator of the
       project undertaken for the past three years, said they were in
       the process of applying for a patent.
       "In another three weeks, we will file the patent and then only I
       can give you the exact details because if I say the name of the
       study, then the name of the plant would be known," said
       Subramonian.
       He said the plant on which the drug would be based was seen
       commonly in several parts of Kerala.
       "Once we get the patent, there would be a discussion with
       doctors and if they suggest there should be animal trials, it
       will be done. So far what we have concluded is that this can
       directly go for human trials. Within two years, the product will
       be available in the market, as things stand now," added
       Subramonian.
       Situated at Palode near here, TBGRI is an autonomous institute
       established by the government of Kerala in 1979 and functions
       for inventory, conservation and sustainable utilisation of plant
       wealth through R&D efforts.
       The basis of this new study is the PhD thesis of a student. The
       project was subsequently funded by the Department of Science and
       Technology.
       Viagr.a is a drug used to treat erectile dysfunctioning in men.
