Beschreibung:
This volume provides information on howto select and screen plants for their medicinal properties. It describes phytopharmacologicaltechniques for extracting and qualitatively and quantitatively analyzing aplant's phytochemicals. After a detailed in vitro investigation including nutritionaland anti-nutritional analyses, medicinal properties were tested with various invivo models for anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-pyretic, anticancer andanti-diabetic properties, as well as wound healing, neurodegenerative diseasesetc. Compound identification and purification techniques include, among othersTLC and column chromatography, as well as molecular docking with specificproteins.
