Herbal Biomolecules in Healthcare Applications presents extensive
detailed information on all the vital principles, basics and
fundamental aspects of multiple herbal biomolecules in the
healthcare industry. This book examines important herbal
biomolecules including alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids,
anthraquinones, steroids, polysaccharides, tannins and polyphenolic
compounds, terpenes, fats and waxes, proteins and peptides, and
vitamins. These herbal biomacromolecules are responsible for
different bioactivities as well as pharmacological potentials. A
systematic understanding of the extraction, purification,
characterization, applications of these herbal biomolecules and
their derivatives in healthcare fields is developed in this
comprehensive book. Chapters explore the key topics along with an
emphasis on recent research and developments in healthcare fields
by leading experts. They include updated literature review of the
relevant key topics, good quality illustrations, chemical
structures, flow charts, well-organized tables and case studies.
Herbal Biomolecules in Healthcare Applications will be useful for
researchers working on natural products and biomolecules with
bioactivity and nutraceutical properties. Professionals
specializing in scientific areas such as biochemistry,
pharmacology, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, clinics, or
engineering focused on bioactive natural products will find this
book useful.
In this thought-provoking new book, Nederland Fulgencio provides
an alternative view of the meaning behind an altar call. We don't
have to know why a person walks down to the altar for prayer. We
just know that independent of time and space, the altar is a
transcendental experience. Tap into the tapestry of your intellect
and the spiritual power God has available for you at the altar,
where your interconnectedness with God and your earthly experience
will be affirmed.

While biotechnological advances, genomics and high throughput
screenings or combinatorial and asymmetric syntheses are opening
new opportunities in drug discovery, the industry is facing serious
innovation deficit. The total number of new molecules registered
per year has dropped in contrast to expected increase. Post
marketing failures of blockbuster drugs have become major concerns
of industries. On the other side, globally there is a major shift
to sue of traditional medicine involving complementary and
alternative therapies. Ethnopharmacology and traditional medicines
have contributed in past significantly in the process of natural
product drug discovery. There are two clear tracks where
ethnopharmacology has potential to contribute in future drug
research. First, as a discovery engine to provide new targets,
leads, and second, use of quality assured and standardized
traditional medicines. In this scenario, it is important to
understand the mechanisms of drug discovery and pharmaceutical
development with a focus on herbal drugs and neutraceutical. This
book provides historical perspective, future prospects and
significance of ethnopharmacology in drug research. It also
provides important steps in botanical drug discovery and
development including bioprospecting, quality control,
standardization, pharmaceutics, stability, pharmacokinetics, and
bioavailability with examples from ethnopharmacology and herbal
medicine. One of the important feature of this book is to give an
excellent insight to Good Laboratory and Good Clinical Practices
along with very useful summary steps involved in filing IND or NDA
of botanical products. The book also gives Regulators' perspective
of validating claims and how ethnopharmacological or traditional
medicines need different approach.
Phytochemical Profiling of Commercially Important South African
Plants comprises a carefully selected group of plant species that
are of interest to researchers and industry partners who would like
to investigate the commercialization of plant species. The book
presents 25 botanicals selected based on commercial relevance. For
each of the species, the following topics are covered: botanical
description and distribution, phytochemistry (including chemical
structures), HPTLC fingerprint analysis, UPLC analysis, and GC
analysis (the latter only in the case of essential oil-bearing
species). Using standard methodology, high-level chromatographic
fingerprints have been developed for better understanding.
Different methods are succinctly summarized allowing for the rapid
identification of botanical raw materials and formulated consumer
products. This book will be extremely valuable to researchers in
the field who wish to rapidly identify the constituents and for
those who want to prepare formulations of plant material for
commercial applications. This work will also be a valuable resource
in the field of pharmacognosy.
Inner Sanctuary: Healing from the Root to the Crown Chakra takes
you on a healing journey through the seven main chakras of the
body. Each chapter shares a story that can help you conquer fears,
while experiencing forgiveness and spiritual enlightenment.
