About This Book

Medicinal and aromatic plants are beneficial to human health. Plant-derived molecules possess biological activities that can be used to prevent many infectious diseases and metabolic disorders. Ethnobotany and Ethnopharmacology of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants summarizes techniques and methods used to study the biological activities of plant-derived extracts and compounds to study ethnobotanical and ethnopharmacological features of medicinal and aromatic plants.

This book:

  • Includes computational approaches to study the pharmacological properties of biomolecules in medicinal and aromatic plants.
  • Details methods in ethnopharmacology including chromatographical and analytical techniques.
  • Demonstrates trends in sustainable use and management of medicinal and aromatic plants.
  • Features information on databases and tools used in computational phytochemistry for drug designing and discovery.
  • Elucidates the importance of phytochemicals as immunomodulators in herbal drug development including their nanoformulations.

A volume in the Exploring Medicinal Plants series, Ethnobotany and Ethnopharmacology of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants will be of interest to those working with plant extracts, including botanists and ethnobotanists, pharmacologists and ethnopharmacologists, as well as scientists and researchers interested in natural compounds and their potential applications.
