Recent Progress en Medicinal Plantees, Vol 31: Mechanism et Action de Phytoconstituents
Description
Études sur phytoconstituents from medicinal plants have experienced a great deal de changes during le last century, not only regarding le number de compounds described, but also en le concept de action et mechanism de phytoconstituents itself. Since le drug discovery process increasingly requires le availability de large number de compounds chemicals en nature offers a valuable source; pour example, secondary metabolites, previously regarded as waste products are now recognized pour their resistant activity against diseases et pests. Based sur this rationale le present volume provides 26 research et review articles contributed by le eminent scientists from far et wide including Canada, China, Inde, Japan, Mexico, Morocco, Nigeria, Slovak Republic, Spain et USUn avec a view to bring le scientific data to le attention de international scientific community. Some de le important 19 medicinal plants (Astragalus, Cimicifuga, Cinnamomum tamala, Curcuma longa, Diospyros kaki, Ficus benghalensis, Ficus exasperata, Lablab purpureus, Lagenaria breviflora, Lepidium meyenii, Mentha piperita, Peltigera canina, Piper longum, Rhodiola rosea, Sedum praealtum, Solanum villosum, Terminalia chebula, Thalictrum, Vaccinium macrocarpon ) have been explored pour bioactive compounds. Also new analytical methodologies have been developed pour their determination. Le chapter sur Natural Bioactive Cycloartane Triterpenoids en plants has shown to possess unique structures et cellular mechanisms de action et might prove to have potential pour medical applications en various diseases like anti-tumor, anti-virus, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammations, immune regulatory, cardiovascular system, nervous system et hepatoprotective effects. Reservatrol a natural phytoalexin has been presented as a potential new functional molecule pour obesity et insulin resistance prevention. Le review sur Rhodiola rosea L. provides an overview de en vitro propagation methods coupled avec highlighting le research efforts pour various phenolic compounds. Microbes have an important niche en le pharma sector as they produce thousands de industrially important bioactive molecules including antimicrobials. Three chapters have been presented to identify novel inhibitors pour microbial pathogens by le use de classical et modern techniques. Terminalia chebula showed bioactive compounds which kill various drug resistant microbial pathogens including methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Pathogenesis related proteins showed an important role en plant responses to heavy metal stress. Le phytochemicals from fruits et vegetables hold promising potential en le development de health foods; nutritional supplements et herbal medicines pour le application as antioxidants et cancer chemopreventive agents. Un attempt has been made to understand le Universe de Alimentation Quality & Safety et need de paradigm shift is highlighted to provide a sustainable solution. Simultaneously, le chapter sur Modified Atmospheric Packaging has defined conditions that will create le optimum atmosphere inside le package best suited pour extending shelf-life de a given produce avec shortest possible time-period. 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.
