Medicinal Plants in the Asia Pacific for Zoonotic Pandemics, Volume 1
by Christophe Wiart
Medicinal Plants in the Asia Pacific for Zoonotic Pandemics provides an unprecedented, comprehensive overview of the phylogeny, botany, ethnopharmacology, and pharmacology of more than 100 plants used in the traditional medical systems of Asia and Pacific. It discusses their actions and potentials against viruses, bacteria, and fungi that represent a threat of epidemic and pandemic diseases, with an emphasis on the molecular basis and cellular pathways.
This book presents scientific names, the botanical classification, traditional medicinal uses, active chemical constituents, and pharmacology. This volume is a critical reference for anyone involved in the discovery of lead molecules or phytopharmaceutical products for the prevention or treatment of pandemic viral, bacterial, or fungal infections.
FEATURES
- Phylogenetic presentation of medicinal plants and a chemotaxonomical rationale of antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal actions
- Discusses the chemical structure–activity relationship, pharmacokinetics, and oral bioavailability of antimicrobial principles
- Introduces the molecular mechanism of natural products on viruses, bacteria, and fungi
- Contains a selection of botanical plates and useful bibliographic references
This book is a useful research tool for postgraduates, academics, and the pharmaceutical, herbal, and nutrition industries. Medicinal Plants in the Asia Pacific for Zoonotic Pandemics includes commentary sections that invite further research and reflection on the fascinating and timely subject of the development of drugs and herbals from Asia-Pacific medicinal plants to safeguard humanity and other life forms against the forthcoming waves of viral, bacterial, or fungal pandemics. This book is an ideal reference text for medicinal plant enthusiasts.

Medicinal Plants in the Asia Pacific for Zoonotic Pandemics, Volume 4
by Christophe Wiart
Viruses and plagues have constantly threatened the survival of humanity since the evolution of modern man. Medical advances thanks to the application of remedial plants have helped to fight back against some of the most nefarious bacterial and viral infections, giving humanity a fighting chance.
This fourth volume in the Medicinal Plants in the Asia Pacific for Zoonotic Pandemics series provides an unprecedented comprehensive overview of the pharmacological activity of medicinal plants in more than 100 Asian plants. The text discusses the actions of such plants against viruses and bacteria representing a threat of epidemic and pandemic diseases including COVID 19, with an emphasis on the molecular basis and cellular pathways. Scientific names, botanical classifications and descriptions, medicinal uses and chemical constituents are presented, chemical sructures and a vast selection of bibliographical references.
Features
- Introduction to the molecular mechanism of natural products from medicinal plants in Asia on bacteria and viruses
-
- Phylogenetic presentation of a selection of medicinal plants and a chemotaxonomical rationale of antiviral and antibacterial action
-
- Chemical structure-activity relationship, pharmacokinetics and bioavailability are discussed
-
- A useful research tool for students, post-graduate students and academics looking forward to develop antiviral and antibacterial agents from medicinal plants in Asia
This volume is a critical reference for anyone involved in the discovery of leads for the treatment of pandemic viral and bacterial infections.
"This book will be an important resource for scientists, as well as people passionate about helping to save these critical resources. Perhaps a new drug lead will be identified from at least one of these plants".
