Herbal Products Toxicology and Clinical Pharmacology

Herbal Products Toxicology and Clinical Pharmacology

Edited by Timorthy S. Tracy and Richard L. Kingston

Herbal Products: Toxicology and Clinical Pharmacology, Second Edition builds on the informative foundation laid by its predecessor. This fully revised and expanded second edition boasts more than 200 new references that document efficacy studies and adverse effects and four new chapters devoted to dietary products.

Practitioners and researchers will find that this volume is a comprehensive resource for objective clinical information about the potential uses, efficacy, and safety of herbal medicines. The authors recognize that the majority of available information on dietary supplements is typically provided by distributors and designed to sell a product rather than objectively inform consumers; therefore, the emphasis throughout is on information not readily available from any other source.

Similar to the first edition, this volume is based on original studies published in peer-reviewed journals, as well as meta-analyses, systematic reviews, and other high-quality assessments by recognized experts

CRC Handbook of Medicinal Spices

CRC Handbook of Medical Spices

Edited by James A. Duke, Mary, Judi & Peggy

Spices are important medicines that have withstood the empirical tests of millennia. Nearly 5,000 years ago Charak, the father of Ayurvedic medicine, claimed that garlic lightens the blood, reduces tumors, and is an aphrodisiac tonic. Today scientists say it thins the blood, prevents cancer, and increases libido. For centuries people worldwide have used spices to cure a myriad of ailments and to preserve foods. Now science is proving that these spices may preserve us with their antioxidant and antiseptic activities. Organized by scientific name, the CRC Handbook of Medicinal Spices provides the science behind the folklore of over 60 popular spices

Alkaloids - Secrets of Life

Alkaloids - Secrets of Life

Edited by Tadeusz Aniszewski

Alkaloids, represent a group of interesting and complex chemical compounds, produced by the secondary metabolism of living organisms in different biotopes. They are relatively common chemicals in all kingdoms of living organisms in all environments. Two hundred years of scientific research has still not fully explained the connections between alkaloids and life.Alkaloids-Chemistry, Biological Significance, Applications and Ecological Role provides knowledge on structural typology, biosynthesis and metabolism in relation to recent research work on alkaloids. Considering an organic chemistry approach to alkaloids using biological and ecological explanation. Within the book several questions that persist in this field of research are approached as are some unresearched areas. The book provides beneficial text for an academic and professional audience and serves as a source of knowledge for anyone who is interested in the fascinating subject of alkaloids. Each chapter features an abstract. Appendices are included, as are a listing of alkaloids, plants containing alkaloids and some basic protocols of alkaloid analysis

Flavonoids: Chemistry, Biochemistry and Applications

Flavonoids: Chemistry, Biochemistry and Applications

Flavonoids: Chemistry, Biochemistry and Applications covers each class of flavonoid and presents the historic advances made in flavonoid research since the 1994 publication of an earlier text, Flavonoids Advances in Research Since 1986. This book details the analytical techniques scientists have used to achieve an improved understanding of flavonoid structures and functions as well as advances in the genetic manipulation of the flavonoid pathway, and the discovery of many new flavonoids. It indicates which techniques are best suited for the isolation and structure determination of flavonoids and whether the structures are novel. While explaining how to evaluate the flavonoid content in food and beverages, the book reveals the biotechnological advances that have allowed nutritionists and plant physiologists to assess the possible effects of flavonoids.

Natural Products

Natural Products

Natural Products, Drug Discovery and Therapeutic Medicine timely shares the experience of renowned scientist from academy and industry working in the field. … a very comprehensive tool that will help everybody interested in the discovery of natural products. I highly recommend this book for those who want to understand the potential of drug development from natural products in the light of modern knowledge and technology as well as for individuals who want to understand history of pass successes in drug discovery from natural products.

This book addresses historical aspects of natural products and the integration of approaches to their discovery, microbial diversity, specific groups of products (Chinese herbal drugs, antitumor drugs from microbes and plants, terpenoids, and arsenic compounds), specific sources (the sea, rainforest endophytes, and Ecuadorian biodiversity), and methodology (high-performance liquid chromatography profiling, combinatorial biosynthesis, genomics, bioinformatics, and strain improvement by modern genetic manipulations).
A fresh examination of the past successes of natural products as medicines and their new future from both conventional and new technologies. High-performance liquid chromatography profiling, combinatorial synthesis, genomics, proteomics, DNA shuffling, bioinformatics, and genetic manipulation all now make it possible to rapidly evaluate the activities of extracts as well as purified components derived from microbes, plants, and marine organisms. The authors apply these methods to new natural product drug discoveries, to microbial diversity, to specific groups of products (Chinese herbal drugs, antitumor drugs from microbes and plants, terpenoids, and arsenic compounds), and to specific sources (the sea, rainforest, and endophytes). These new opportunities show how research and development trends in the pharmaceutical industry can advance to include both synthetic compounds and natural products, and how this paradigm shift can be more productive and efficacious.

Modern Alkaloids

Modern Alkaloids

Alkaloids constitute one of the widest classes of natural products, being synthesized
practically by all phyla of both marine and terrestrial organisms, at any evolutionary
level. The extraordinary variety (and often complexity) of alkaloid structures and
biological properties have long intrigued natural product chemists (for structure
determination and biosynthetic studies), analytical chemists, and synthetic organic
chemists. Toxicologists, pharmacologists and pharmaceutical companies have used
and will certainly continue to use alkaloids as biological tools and/or as lead
compounds for development of new drugs.

Plant Secondary Metabolites

Plant Secondary Metabolites

Plant secondary metabolites have been a fertile area of chemical investigation for many years, driving the development of both analytical chemistry and of new synthetic reactions and methodologies. The subject is multi-disciplinary with chemists, biochemists and plant scientists all contributing to our current understanding. In recent years there has been an upsurge in interest from other disciplines, related to the realisation that secondary metabolites are dietary components that may have a considerable impact on human health, and to the development of gene technology that permits modulation of the contents of desirable and undesirable components.
"Plant Secondary Metabolites: Occurrence, Structure and Role in the Human Diet" addresses this wider interest by covering the main groups of natural products from a chemical and biosynthetic perspective with illustrations of how genetic engineering can be applied to manipulate levels of secondary metabolites of economic value as well as those of potential importance in diet and health. These descriptive chapters are augmented by chapters showing where these products are found in the diet, how they are metabolised and reviewing the evidence for their beneficial bioactivity.
