Synthesis of Medicinal Agents from Plants highlights the importance
of synthesizing medicinal agents from plants and outlines methods
for performing it effectively. Beginning with an introduction to
the significance of medicinal plants, the book goes on to provide a
historical overview of drug synthesis before exploring how this can
be used to successfully replicate and adapt the active agents from
natural sources. Chapters then explore the medicinal properties of
a number of important plants, before concluding with a discussion
of the future of drugs from medicinal plants. Illustrated with
real-world examples, it is a practical resource for researchers in
this field. In an age of rapid environmental destruction, hundreds
of medicinal plants are at risk of extinction from overexploitation
and deforestation, limiting the natural resources available for
active agent extraction, thereby threatening the discovery of
future cures for diseases. Simultaneously, with the increasing
population and advances in medical sciences, the demand for drugs
is continuously increasing and cannot be met with just plants. The
ability to synthetically replicate the active compounds from these
plants is essential in creating an ecologically-aware, sustainable
future for drug design
