OTHER SIGNIFICANT INTERNATIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS
69.WORLD AUTHORITY ON CROTALARIA –
A.Solving the outbreak of mysterious Phoolan bimari disease (epidemic of swelling of body in Sarguja district in Madhya Pradesh, India). Several teams investigated this baffling disease, including All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. It was being attributed to some new disease of infectious etiology. This was solved by Dr. Atal when the cause was suspected and subsequently found to be toxicity by crotalaria seeds as food adulterant .It was covered in the national news. A team under Dr. Prabhay Singh Jamwal was deputed to the affected area with the instructions to collect all weeds in the fields particularly focusing on suspect Crotalaria. The team returned with several specimens but was unable to find Crotalaria. However on closer scrutiny the rogue plant was identified by Dr. Atal based on examination of unusually tiny but typical seeds of the plant among the sample specimens brought. Further research confirmed the toxicity due to Crotalaria plant.
B.Numerous serial research publications on Crotalaria have been published.
C.On the basis of these numerous publications , WHO appointed Dr. Atal as expert on Crotalaria toxicity and deputed him as consultant to USA, (Oct, 1981) for division of Chemistry and Physics and Division of Toxicology, Bureau of Foods, Food & Drug Administration (FDA) USA / and Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO-USA). Dr. Atal then conducted several lecture tours all over USA (wherever Toxicology work was going on) for toxic plant residues and adulteration in foods and cereals, isolation, detection of hepatotoxins in food chain, especially Crotalaria toxin which had caused morbidity / mortality in USA.
70.INTERNATIONAL IMPACT OF WORK-. Dr. Atal, a student of internationally acclaimed Pharmacognosist Prof. A.E. Schwarting (USA), has been one of the leading International multidisciplinary Pharmacognosists. He was a based internationally as green card US resident and as UN consultant for several projects internationally for about 12-13 years. He served as international multidisciplinary consultant to numerous major international organizations, world bodies, several countries and several United Nations organizations. Multiple multimillion US dollars UN projects successfully implemented/formulated by him have resulted in significant international socioeconomic benefits for the developing world like Vietnam. His drug development projects (Serial no 92-104, drug discovery) include internationally marketed formulations like Sallaki by Gufic (India, Europe, other countries) and Debelysin by Herbapol (Ukraine, Byelorussia, Poland etc). He has several “first reporting’s in the world” and new pioneering concepts in science, like discovery of plant immunomodulators (from rasayanas) and concept of bioenhancers in medical science. It has led to official launching of world’s first bioenhanced TB drug Risorine on world TB day 2011, which was also presented to world dignitary Mr. Bill Gates (Chairman, Microsoft), by Government of India at Delhi. As a world authority on Crotalaria he was invited as consultant to USA (by USFDA, PAHO, WHO) on Crotalaria toxicity. He has also held many international patents. He has also taught internationally in department of biosciences, Nebraska, USA and U. Conn, USA. His international reference books are inevitably found in libraries globally in plant research institutes and extensively quoted internationally in research studies. These are also used in post graduate Pharmacy teaching institutes all over India (refer author writer). His numerous research articles in prominent international journals are also extensively quoted internationally as references. He has been on panel of the prestigious “International Journal of Ethno-Pharmacology”, by Elsevier, Ireland.
