This two-volume book, Biomolecules and Pharmacology of Medicinal
Plants, will be a valuable desk reference book on bioactives and
pharmacology of medicinal plants. Listing the medicinal plants by
species, each of these 77 chapters detail the plants' bioactive
phytocompounds and their chemical structures along with their
pharmacological activities and properties. These include the
plants' antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant,
anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, hepatoprotective,
cardioprotective, and nephroprotective properties. Bioactive
compounds typically occur in small amounts, and they have more
subtle effects than nutrients. Bioactive compounds influence
cellular activities that modify the risk of disease and cure and
alleviate disease symptoms. These compounds can act as
antioxidants, enzyme inhibitors and inducers, inhibitors of
receptor activities, and inducers and inhibitors of gene expression
among other actions. A wide array of biological activities and
potential health benefits of medicinal plants have been reported,
which include antiviral, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-cancer,
anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic properties as well as protective
effects on the liver, kidney, heart, and nervous system. The
volumes will be a must-have reference for pharmacy institutes and
pharmacy professors, phytochemists and research scholars, botanists
working with medicinal plants, and postgraduate students of
pharmacy and medicine round the world. The comprehensive
information presented here provides an invaluable source to aid in
the development of new drugs.
