ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY AND PHYTOCHEMICAL ATTRIBUTES OF MEDICINAL PLANTS VOLUME 1 (HB 2024) Hardcover

Ethnopharmacological Properties, Biological Activity, and Phytochemical Attributes of Medicinal Plants explores the morphological characteristics, ethnopharmacological significance, secondary metabolites, and pharmacological properties of medicinal plants. Ethnopharmacology, the systematic study of traditional medicines, continues to contribute to pharmaceutical advancements by providing innovative drugs and lead compounds. Plant-derived secondary metabolites, whether used individually or in combination, often offer safe and effective medicinal alternatives, even when synthetic drugs prove inadequate. This book delves into the identification, purification, and targeted expression of these bioactive compounds. In addition to detailing morphological features, traditional medicinal uses, and clinical trial studies, this volume provides an in-depth analysis of 56 plant species. It also discusses cell culture techniques and various strategies to enhance the production of medicinally valuable secondary metabolites in plant cell cultures.
