Since ancient times, plants have been used as a prime natural
source of alternative medicines and have played an important role
in our lives. The old tradition of medicinal plant application has
turned into a highly profitable business in the global market,
resulting in the release of a large number of herbal products.
People have tried to find different sources of medicines to
alleviate pain and cure different illnesses. Due to severe
constraints of synthetic drugs and the increasing contraindications
of their usage, there is a growing interest world over in the usage
of natural products based on medicinal herbs, hence, there is an
ever expanding market of herbs and herbal based medicinal
preparations all over the world. This has culminated into an
exponential increase in number of research groups in different
geographical locations and generation of volume of research data in
the field in a short span of time. The path breaking advancement in
research methods and interdisciplinary approaches is giving birth
to newer perspectives. Therefore, it becomes imperative to keep
pace with the advancement in research and development in the field
of medicinal herbs. There are a large number of researchers in
different parts of the world working on various aspects of
medicinal plants and 'herbal medicines'. The idea is to bring their
recent research work into light in the form of a book. The proposed
book contains chapters by the eminent researchers in different
countries and working with different disciplines of medicinal
plants. Articles pertain to different disciplines such as: 1.
Resources and conservation of medicinal plants 2. Biosynthesis and
metabolic engineering of medicinal plants 3. Tissue culture,
propagation and bioreactor technology of medicinal plants 4.
Phytochemical research on medicinal plants 5. Herbal medicines and
plant-derived agents in cancer prevention and therapy 6. Herbal
medicines and plant-derived agents in metabolic syndrome management
7. Herbal medicines and plant-derived agents in modulation of
immune-related disorders 8. Herbal medicines and hepatotoxicity The
book will prove itself an asset for the researchers, professionals
and also students in the area of medicinal plants and mechanism of
their action.
