The book presents glimpses of present status of metabolite diversity within different medicinal plants from the Himalayan regions. Apart from the metabolite diversity, the book provides glimpses of current isolation techniques and pharmacological activity of the bioactive components.
Healing properties of medicinal plants have been known to mankind since time immemorial. Although the reasons contributing healing power to medicinal plants were known to people of that time purely based on experience and not because of any scientific inference, the gradual trend of decreasing drug efficacy of synthetic drugs along with the associated contraindications due to their usage has opened up the gates of knowledge for preferring the use of natural drugs once again in pharmacology.Medicinal Plants of Himalayas: Nutrition, Active Ingredients, and Pharmacological Applications presents glimpses of present status of metabolite diversity within different medicinal plants from the Himalayan regions. Apart from the metabolite diversity, the book provides glimpses of current isolation techniques and pharmacological activity of the bioactive components. The book tries to plug the gap by focusing on compiling different extraction and isolation procedures, pharmaceutical applications of different active ingredients along with providing the detailed introduction of the plants altogether in a single book.Key Features: Provides the bioactive profile of listed medicinal plants available in the literature until now necessary for drug development. Therapeutic value of the medicinal plants further explores the possible disease mitigation potential of these plants. Nutritional and anti-nutritional factors are of important consideration while choosing a particular plant as a source or remedy for disease. The current book is ideal for students, academicians as well as researchers to deepen their knowledge about medicinal plants present around the globe, and particularly the ones distributed in Himalayan region.
