Book Description
For thousands of years, plants show great importance in applications such as condiments, medicines, fragrances, colorants, ornaments, and thus through time scientific information has been obtained for botany, horticulture, chemistry and pharmacology. It is estimated that more than one billion dollars is spent in the commerce of medicinal plants and spices, and its study has greatly contributed to understand the physiological processes of photosynthesis and ecological relation of plants with the environment. Furthermore, plants continue to provide significant roles in traditional rituals of different societies. Presently, scientific research done by several institutions on natural products, have greatly contributed to the search for potential food and pharmacological products, and has greatly increased the interest of industry in the study of the methodology to explore the ecological, botanical, tissue culture, chemistry and pharmacological relation between plants, thus creating a great demand for professionals and specialists associated with botany, chemistry and pharmacology. For this reason, there is demand for more information about this knowledge, but there exists little scientific information that can provide a deep review of research in medicinal plants. This book presents 1752 compounds isolated and identified from plants that present anticancer activity. These substances have been classified by chemical groups and each provides the most relevant information of its pharmacological activity, action mechanism, chemical structure and other properties.

Handbook of Anticancer Drugs from Marine Origin
Author: Se-Kwon Kim
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319071459
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 801
Book Description
This timely desk reference focuses on marine-derived bioactive substances which have biological, medical and industrial applications. The medicinal value of these marine natural products are assessed and discussed. Their function as a new and important resource in novel, anticancer drug discovery research is also presented in international contributions from several research groups. For example, the potential role of Spongistatin, Apratoxin A, Eribulin mesylate, phlorotannins, fucoidan, as anticancer agents is explained. The mechanism of action of bioactive compounds present in marine algae, bacteria, fungus, sponges, seaweeds and other marine animals and plants are illustrated via several mechanisms. In addition, this handbook lists various compounds that are active candidates in chemoprevention and their target actions. The handbook also places into context the demand for anticancer nutraceuticals and their use as potential anti-cancer pharmaceuticals and medicines. This study of advanced and future types of natural compounds from marine sources is written to facilitate the understanding of Biotechnology and its application to marine natural product drug discovery research.

Publisher: Nova Publishers
ISBN: 9781600215612
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
This book presents 616 compounds isolated and identified from plants that present antioxidant activity. These substances have been classified by chemical groups and each provides the most relevant information of its pharmacological activity, action mechanism, chemical structure, spectroscopic date and other properties. Chemical structures have been drawn to indicate the stereochemistry. In this handbook a summary of the scientific information of plants that present biological activity and the compounds responsible for this activity is presented, which introduces the reader to the study of medicinal plants and also provides bibliographic references, where a detailed study of its chemistry and pharmacology can be found.

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1517
Book Description
This Springer Handbook provides, for the first time, a complete and consistent overview over the methods, applications, and products in the field of marine biotechnology. A large portion of the surface of the earth (ca. 70%) is covered by the oceans. More than 80% of the living organisms on the earth are found in aquatic ecosystems. The aquatic systems thus constitute a rich reservoir for various chemical materials and (bio-)chemical processes. Edited by a renowned expert with a longstanding experience, and including over 60 contributions from leading international scientists, the Springer Handbook of Marine Biotechnology is a major authoritative desk reference for everyone interested or working in the field of marine biotechnology and bioprocessing - from undergraduate and graduate students, over scientists and teachers, to professionals. Marine biotechnology is concerned with the study of biochemical materials and processes from marine sources, that play a vital role in the isolation of novel drugs, and to bring them to industrial and pharmaceutical development. Today, a multitude of bioprocess techniques is employed to isolate and produce marine natural compounds, novel biomaterials, or proteins and enzymes from marine organisms, and to bring them to applications as pharmaceuticals, cosmeceuticals or nutraceuticals, or for the production of bioenergy from marine sources. All these topics are addressed by the Springer Handbook of Marine Biotechnology. The book is divided into ten parts. Each part is consistently organized, so that the handbook provides a sound introduction to marine biotechnology - from historical backgrounds and the fundamentals, over the description of the methods and technology, to their applications - but it can also be used as a reference work. Key topics include: - Marine flora and fauna - Tools and methods in marine biotechnology - Marine genomics - Marine microbiology - Bioenergy and biofuels - Marine bioproducts in industrial applications - Marine bioproducts in medical and pharmaceutical applications - and many more...
