Covers the structurally diverse secondary metabolites of medicinal
plants, including their ethnopharmacological properties, biological
activity, and production strategies Secondary metabolites of plants
are a treasure trove of novel compounds with potential
pharmaceutical applications. Consequently, the nature of these
metabolites as well as strategies for the targeted expression
and/or purification is of high interest. Regarding their biological
and pharmacological activity and ethnopharmacological properties,
this book offers a comprehensive treatment of 100 plant species,
including Abutilon, Aloe, Cannabis, Capsicum, Jasminum, Malva,
Phyllanthus, Stellaria, Thymus, Vitis, Zingiber, and more. It also
discusses the cell culture conditions and various strategies used
for enhancing the production of targeted metabolites in plant cell
cultures. Secondary Metabolites of Medicinal Plants:
Ethnopharmacological Properties, Biological Activity and Production
Strategies is presented in four parts. Part I provides a complete
introduction to the subject. Part II looks at the ethnomedicinal
and pharmacological properties, chemical structures, and culture
conditions of secondary metabolites. The third part examines the
many strategies of secondary metabolites production, including:
biotransformation; culture conditions; feeding of precursors;
genetic transformation; immobilization; and oxygenation. The last
section concludes with an overview of everything learned. -Provides
information on cell culture conditions and targeted extraction of
secondary metabolites confirmed by relevant literature -Presents
the structures of secondary metabolites of 100 plant species
together with their biological and pharmacological activity
-Discusses plant species regarding their distribution, habitat, and
ethnopharmacalogical properties -Presents strategies of secondary
metabolites production, such as organ culture, pH, elicitation,
hairy root cultures, light, and mutagenesis Secondary Metabolites
of Medicinal Plants is an important book for students,
professionals, and biotechnologists interested in the biological
and pharmacological activity and ethnopharmacological properties of
plants.
