Biopharmacological Uses of Medicinal Plants and Bioactive Compounds
presents comprehensive coverage and recent advances surrounding
phytopharmaceuticals, traditional and alternative systems of
medicines and uses of nanotechnology in biopharmaceutical products.
Sections cover the role of medicinal plants, bioactive and
biophytopharmaceuticals in the management of cancer, hepatitis,
HIV, analgesics, inflammation, antibacterial, viral infections,
fungal infections, neurological disorders, diabetes, ENT
infections, dental decay, cardiovascular disorders, skin diseases,
antiproliferative etc. This volume also includes biogenic synthesis
of various type of nanoparticles using medical plant extracts,
seaweeds, algae, and fungi for the new drug discovery. This volume
sheds new light on the immense potential of medicinal plants for
human health from different technological aspects. It presents new
research on bioactive compounds in medicinal plants that provide
health benefits, including those that have proven especially
effective in treating and managing diabetes mellitus and
hypertension. It looks at the medicinal properties, antioxidant
capacity, and antimicrobial activity of plants and provides
scientific evidence on the use of medicinal plants in the treatment
of certain diseases. Many of the plants described in the chapters
are easily accessible and are believed to be effective with fewer
side effects in comparison to modern drugs in the treatment of
different diseases. The body of the book comprises
thought-provoking and diverse chapters on the potential for
utilization of plants in treating diseases of the skin and use of
traditional medicine as anticancer, anti-HIV, and antibacterial
agents. Each topic is introduced by providing a background on the
disease, which contains updated statistics on the prevalence
thereof, followed by the associated pathology, pharmacologically
approved drugs currently on the market used for treatment of the
disease, an array of medicinal plants used for treatment
accompanied with a list of their active phytoconstituents and
chemical structures thereof, as well as scientific evidence for
use. This book provides key information for everyone interested in
drug discovery, including medicinal chemists, nutritionists,
microbiologists, biochemists, toxicologists, drug developers and
health care professionals. Students, professors and researchers
working in the area of pharmaceutical sciences, botany,
pharmaceutical microbiology, medical microbiology and beyond will
also find the book useful.
