This detailed volume explores a wide range of evidence-based complementary medicine and various bio-analytical techniques used to define botanical products. Collecting recent work and current developments in the field of contemporary phytomedicine as well as their future possibilities in human health care, the book includes unique contributions in the form of chapters on phytomedicine and screening biological activities explained with diverse hyphenated techniques, as well as issues related to herbal medications, such as efficacy, adulteration, safety, toxicity, regulations, and drug delivery. Written for the Springer Protocols Handbooks series, chapters feature advice from experts on how to best conduct future experiments. Extensive and practical, Natural Product Experiments in Drug Discovery serves as an ideal reference for students, professors, and researchers in universities, R&D institutes, pharmaceutical and herbal enterprises, and health organizations.
This book focuses on natural products, in particular medicinal plants and their derived products, as an indispensable source of bioactive molecules that serve as either drug candidates or lead compounds for drug design and discovery . There are several advantages for plant-derived therapeutics, including wide availability, diverse pharmacological actions, and a generally good profile of safety and tolerability. Over the recent years, there have been numerous reports from clinical studies testifying the efficacy and safety of medicinal plants and phytochemicals in treating human diseases. A plethora of basic studies has also unraveled molecular mechanisms underlying the health benefits of her...
Als ich 2017 auf meine zweijährige Südamerikareise aufgebrochen bin, hätte ich mir gewünscht, ein Buch wie dieses zu besitzen. Denn ich hatte ein leichtes Unbehagen, als Vegetarierin einen Kontinent zu bereisen, der bei uns für seine Fleischküche bekannt ist. Dieses Klischee wird in diesem Buch gebrochen. Durch die gründliche Recherche und die vielen Basisinformationen ist es für alle geeignet, die sich für die Kulinarik Südamerikas interessieren. Es deckt alle für vegane und vegetarische Menschen relevanten Informationen ab, die in den gebräuchlichen Reiseführern fehlen. So hilft es sowohl bei der Vorbereitung als auch während der Reise den Subkontinent zu erschliessen. Mit über 90 Illustrationen, 20 Abbildungen, 18 Rezepten, unzähligen Tipps, Vokabellisten und genug Platz für Notizen ist dieses Buch der ideale kulinarische Begleiter für Ihre nächste Südamerikareise.
This book highlights the importance of traditional medicines, focuses on the standardization of herbal medicine and evaluates opportunities for advancing drug research. It addresses issues in utilization of medicinal plants and shares the importance of herbs in neutraceutics. It provides most competitive techniques being used in research.
This detailed book explores protocols for a wide array of preclinical pharmacology and toxicology evaluations to be applied to chemical drugs and their development through in vitro, involving tissues and cell lines, and in vivo models, using animals as experimental systems, utilized to conduct pharmacological research. Written for the Springer Protocols Handbooks series, the methodologies included in this collection have been standardized by the authors through extensive use in the lab so that they are ready to be applied in the labs of readers around the world. Authoritative and practical, Bioassays in Experimental and Preclinical Pharmacology aims to assist undergraduate and postgraduate students, research scholars, scientists, and other academicians performing research in the vital field of drug discovery.
This volume provides information on how to select and screen plants for their medicinal properties. It describes phytopharmacological techniques for extracting and qualitatively and quantitatively analyzing a plant’s phytochemicals. After a detailed in vitro investigation including nutritional and anti-nutritional analyses, medicinal properties were tested with various in vivo models for anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-pyretic, anticancer and anti-diabetic properties, as well as wound healing, neurodegenerative diseases, etc. Compound identification and purification techniques include, among others, TLC and column chromatography, as well as molecular docking with specific proteins.
