Описание: In 1860, Oliver Wendell Holmes pointedly expressed himself to the Massachusetts Medical Society: "I firmly believe that if the whole Material Medica, as now used, could be sunk to the bottom of the sea, it would be all the better for mankind, and all the worst for the fishes." Should one think the same about the current approach in drug discovery from plants? Probably yes. Despite the spending of billions of US dollars, and three decades of efforts, high-throughput screenings have only allowed the discovery of a couple of drugs. One could have reasonably expected the discovery of an arsenal of drugs from the millions of plant extracts randomly tested, but "hits" can be inactive in vitro or too toxic, some molecules need to be metabolized first to be active, and false-positive and false-negative results are common. The bitter truth is that the robotic approach in discovering drugs from plants has proven, to date, its inability to excavate the hundreds of molecules that will contribute to the health progress of Man. However, one can reasonably see that the last patches of primary rainforest on earth hold still hundreds of spectacularly active drugs that await discovery.

Описание: The current book consists of exceptional scientific contributions from seventy researchers affiliated with top research organizations. It begins by exploring plants utilized in the Sowa-Rigpa system of food and medicine, followed by the traditional medicinal uses of plants among the Khasi tribe residing in northeast India. This collection includes various research techniques that highlight methods for analyzing documented data, as well as procedures for scientifically validating findings. The book also discusses methods for assessing traditional knowledge of endangered plants, such as Hodgsoniaheteroclita, and the pharmacological applications of the family Asteraceae, among other ethnobotanical and ethnopharmacological parameters used in current scientific research. Furthermore, the book covers several clinical topics, including plants used in relation to cancer, diabetes, skin disorders, and other aspects of human and animal health care. The book also highlights the use of plants as nutraceuticals and includes research on lianas, lichens, and the role of allylisothiocyanate as a bioprotective agent. The books focus on ethnobotanical trends and techniques, phytochemistry, biological activities, ethnopharmacology, and clinical studies adds significant value to the discovery of medicine formulations.

Описание: Though their usage greatly diminished at the dawn of the scientific area, Indian spices were traditional parts of healthcare for thousands of years. However, over the last decade, largely due to the growth in popularity of complementary and alternative medicine, spices have regained attention due to their physiological and functional benefits. By applying modern research methods to traditional remedies, it is possible to discover what made these spices such effective ailment treatments.

Ethnopharmacological Investigation of Indian Spices is a collection of innovative research that analyzes the chemical properties and medical benefits of Indian spices in order to design new therapeutic drugs and for possible utility in the food industry. The book specifically examines the phytochemistry and biosynthetic pathway of active constituents of Indian spices. Highlighting a wide range of topics including pharmacology, antioxidant activity, and anti-cancer research, this book is ideally designed for pharmacologists, pharmacists, physicians, nutritionists, botanists, biotechnicians, biochemists, researchers, academicians, and students at the graduate and post-graduate levels interested in alternative healthcare.
