Asian medicinal plants show great promise in pharmaceutical and
cosmetological development. Researchers engaged in the discovery of
new leads in these areas need robust conceptual tools and
understanding of interrelated basics of botany, ethnobotany,
biomolecular pharmacology, phytochemistry, and medicinal chemistry
to guide their investigations. Medicinal Plants of China, Korea,
and Japan: Bioresources for Tomorrow s Drugs and Cosmetics explores
the fundamental science and demonstrates the compelling potential
of these versatile plants, providing an essential resource to
stimulate and guide focused inquiry.
It is essential that researchers appreciate the chemotaxonomical
statuses of these plants, so chapters are arranged according to the
Angiosperm Phylogeny Group system of plant taxonomy. The book
discusses the history, synonymy, habitat, description, traditional
uses, and pharmacochemistry of each plant. Detailed photographs and
hand-made botanical plates enable quick and reliable identification
of each plant species. Critical analyses of peer-reviewed articles
provide the basis for Bioresource sections in each chapter wherein
readers are advised, engaged, and guided towards exciting
pharmaceutical and cosmetological research proposals. Also included
are indexes of botanical terms, pharmacological terms, natural
products, and local names.
Detailing 200 medicinal plant species carefully selected for
their novelty and pharmacological and cosmetological importance,
this volume provides a firm starting point for anyone looking
forward to unlocking the potential of Asian medicinal plants. In
addition, this invaluable book identifies numerous patentable
leads.
