An important overview of the state of the art in naturally
occurring antimycotics!Here is a comprehensive and innovative
examination of the antimycotic potential of essential plant oils
and extracts against fungal infections affecting humans, animals,
plants, and foodstuffs. Plant-Derived Antimycotics emphasizes the
antimycotic activity of plants found in Central America, India,
Nepal, Fiji, and China--areas rich in phyto-diversity and
traditional botanical/medical knowledge.From editor M.K. Rai:
"Since the inception of human civilization men have been using
herbs against various mycotic infections. In the recent past,
several antimycotic agents have been introduced into the market due
to their rapid curative properties. Still, the quest for new
antifungal agents of a fungicidal rather than fungistatic nature
continues. Furthermore, there has been a dramatic increase in the
new spectrum of fungal infections known as opportunistic fungal
pathogens. Consequently, plant-derived antimycotics are gaining
importance, being natural, cheaper, safer, eco-friendly, and within
the reach of the common man."With a distinguished list of
contributors from around the world, Plant-Derived Antimycotics
explores: antifungal compounds that strengthen plant-defense
systems traditional herbs that have revealed their antifungal
properties newer, faster methods of screening and evaluating
antifungal drugs natural antimycotics derived from plants in
Croatia, South America, South Africa, China, India, and Fiji the
mechanism of herbal antimycotic action the diversity of antimycotic
efficacy in Asteraceous and Meliaceous plants new bioactive
antifungal molecules Plant-Derived Antimycotics is an essential
reference for pharmacologists, microbiologists, clinical
mycologists, oncologists, immunologists, drug manufacturers,
botanists and ethnobotanists, phytochemists, herbalists, and
everyone searching for a natural remedy for the new spectrum of
opportunistic fungal infections generated by the immunocompromising
difficulties encountered by AIDS and cancer patients. Color
illustrations, photographs, charts, tables, and graphs make the
information easier to absorb and understand.
