Bioactives and Pharmacology of Legumes (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Pullaiah, T.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In this comprehensive desk reference, a variety of bioactives and therapeutics from the legume family (Fabaceae or Leguminosae) are thoroughly detailed. For each species included in the volume, a brief introduction is given, the plant's bioactive compounds are listed, and its chemical structures shown, followed by their pharmacological activities.

Many of these plants have medicinal activities that include antiviral, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, nephroprotective and cardioprotective. The biochemical characteristics of the 37 plants included, such as the type of starch, protein, and fibers, can be exploited as binders, excipients, thickeners, and dispersants in the formulation of various products in the pharmaceutical industry. The published literature on the pharmacological activities on each species is reviewed and presented in a concise and clear manner.

This will be an important source book for pharmaceutical researchers, scientists, and others in development of new drugs.
