Produktbeschreibung

Demonstrating the connections between agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals this book explores the use of plants and plant products in the formulation and development of pharmaceuticals. Experts from around the world examine a multitude of topics, including evaluation of extracts from tropical plants for potential anticancer activity and cancer chemopreventive activity; use of Chinese lacquer tree sap products as pharmaceutical intermediates; and new approaches to drug discovery from the rainforest. It also includes plant-derived products and their analogs, with antitumor, anti-HIV, and antifungal activity and presents structure-activity relationships of antimalarials.
