Studies in Natural Products Chemistry
Natural products present in the plant and animal kingdom offer a huge diversity of chemical structures, which are the result of biosynthetic processes that have been modulated over the millennia through genetic effects. With the rapid developments in spectroscopic techniques and accompanying advances in high-throughput screening techniques, it has become possible to isolate and then determine the structures and biological activity of natural products rapidly, thus opening up to the pharmaceutical industry exciting opportunities in the field of new drug development. The series covers all of the above as well as the synthesis, testing and recording of the medicinal properties of natural products. - Describes the chemistry of bioactive natural products - Contains contributions by leading authorities in the field - A valuable source for researchers in natural product and medicinal chemistry
Studies in Natural Products Chemistry
Chalcones are a group of plant-derived polyphenolic compounds that possess a wide variety of biological activities. Several lead compounds with various pharmacological properties have been developed based on the chalcone skeleton. The beneficial effect of these substances has been studied in relation to diabetes mellitus. Several studies have demonstrated that chalcones either from natural or synthetic sources can influence carbohydrate pathways, especially glucose metabolism. These studies verified the effectiveness of chalcones as antihyperglycemic and/or hypoglycemic agents through in vitro and in vivo experimental responses. In this context, these molecules are attractive substances whic...
Herbal Medicine Applications for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a multifaceted reproductive, metabolic syndrome, and its symptoms involve interactions between hormones, genes, and environmental stressors. The characteristic symptoms of PCOS include menstrual abnormalities such as oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea. The general symptoms of PCOS are anovulation or oligo-ovulation. Herbal Medicine Applications for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome provides comprehensive information on different aspects of PCOS, including its pathogenesis, symptoms, therapies, and management, particularly through herbal remedies. With 13 chapters related to different aspects of PCOS, this book provides enormous knowledge about the pathogenesis and r...
Oxidative Stress
Oxidative Stress is intended as an in-depth account of knowledge and problems in the field of oxygen-related damage in biological systems. The topics range from an assessment of molecular events in in vitro model systems to complex problems in clinical medicine. Organized into two parts with a total of 18 chapters, this book begins with an introduction to oxidative stress, elucidating specific topics on reactive oxygen species, detoxification system, and nature of oxidative damage. The first part focuses on models used with cells and tissues in the study of oxidative stress, whereas the second part describes the processes elicited by oxidative stress.
EDHF
The advances made in vascular biology in the last 25 years have considerably changed the perception that one could have of the endothelial cells. Once considered as a diffusion barrier preventing the access of the blood cells to the vascular matrix, the endothelium is now recognized as playing a major role in the control of blood fluidity, platelet aggregation, and vascular tone, but also in immunology, inflammation, angiogenesis, and for serving as a metabolizing and an endocrine organ. -- from the preface Cardiovascular diseases, so prevalent in the Western world during the twentieth century, could well become the scourge of the twenty-first century in emerging countries as well as the Wes...
Plant Secondary Metabolism
Life has evolved as a unified system; no organism exists similar role also has been suggested for fatty acids from alone, but each is in intimate contact with other organisms cyanolipids. Nonprotein amino acids, cyanogenic glyco and its environment. Historically, it was easier for workers sides, and the non-fatty-acid portion of cyanolipids also are in various disciplines to delimit artificially their respective incorporated into primary metabolites during germination. areas of research, rather than attempt to understand the entire Secondary metabolites of these structural types are accumu system of living organisms. This was a pragmatic and neces lated in large quantities in the seeds of se...
