Recent Progress en Medicinal Plantees, Vol 30: Drug Plantees IV
Description
Attention is again focusing sur natural sources pour finding new lead pharmaceutical compounds as multi-drug resistant strains de infectious disease agents continue to emerge. Le vast chemical diversity de medicinal plants is a promising source de lead compounds that is relatively unexplored et le investigation de traditional medicinal plants is a valuable tool pour targeting potentially active species. Based sur this rationale, le present volume provides 19 research et review articles contributed by eminent scientists from far et wide including Brazil, Colombia, Inde, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Nigeria, U.S.A. et Zimbabwe, avec a view to bring le recent scientific data to le attention de international scientific community. Some interesting contributions included are, Reviews sur medicinal properties et use de Lippia alba, Bixa orellana, Silphium spp; Wasabia japonica, Abutilon indicum, Psidium guajava, Swertia chirata, Vernonia cinerea et Inula racemosa; Ethnophar-macological uses de Silphium species recorded by native American tribes; Investigations sur Amburana cearensis pour its antifungal, antibacterial et vasorelaxant effects sur CNS; Review sur antifertility drugs; Effect de NPK inorganic fertilizers sur Gongronema latifolium; Therapeutic plants possessing contraceptive activities en males; Medicinal et economic potential de Seabuck Thorn (Hippophae spp.); Immunomodulatory effect de Propolis and; Gene expression en le seed development de Castor (Ricinus communis). Le chapter sur Plante extracts as anti-inflammatory components de diet has special significance. These studies have demonstrated that plants have potential medicinal properties to fight against many present-day diseases et conditions.Le findings presented would serve as basic material pour further work en developing new phyto-therapeutics. Le volume has been addressed to phytochemists, pharmacologists, microbiologists, biotechnologists, medical scientists et other researchers engaged en le search de natural products.
