Plant Secondary Metabolites Chemistry and Role

For centuries the vast and versatile pharmacological effects of medicinal plants constituents have played vital roles in biological, economic, social, spiritual, cultural and health wellbeing. This unique text establishes a groundwork in natural product chemistry and phytochemistry by considering biosynthesis and mechanistic way. There is abundant evidence showing that medicinal plants and their secondary metabolites are useful in preventing different ailments and this book discusses this as well as the mechanisms, amelioration and biosynthesis. It helps readers to understand computational, toxicological, cosmetic and nutraceutical aspects of plant secondary metabolites. The Book aims to summaries the biodiversity, biosynthesis and mechanistic approaches of secondary metabolites, having highly significant potential and economically scientifically evidence for biotechnologist industrialist researchers and scholars for wellbeing of communities. Demonstrates recent practical development for utilizing of natural products in the field of drug discovery, nutrition cosmetic, health, food and basic life functions. Deliberate the chemical perspective and toxicological aspects, biosynthetic pathways, developments of new methods and synthetic modifications to reduce side effects. The work accentuate the use of natural products is in the discovery of new medicinal treatments beauty products natural organic products in fact every face of our lives. Comprises structural diversity of utilization of secondary metabolites from plant sources far exceeds the capabilities of synthetic organic chemists within the laboratory and process analytical technologies.
