A total of 275 methanol extracts from edible Indonesian and Malaysian plants were screened for their in vitro anti-tumor-promoting activities by using the tumor promoter 12-O-hexadecanoylphorbol-concentration of 200 ug/mL, 70% of the total extracts inhibited EBV activation by 30% or more. The rate is comparable to and much higher than those observed in our previous tests of edible Thai (60%) and Japanese (26%) plants respectively. Zerumbone, a humulene-type sesquiterpene, was then isolated from the thizomes of Zingiber zerumbet as a potent inhibitor of EBV activation in Raji cells (IC50 = 0.14 uM). In addition, 19 species of plant food-items of wild primates in Pangandaran, Indonesia, were tested, and 6 species, Alsophi glauca, Cinnamomum sintoc, Saurauia cauliflora, Rubus alpestris, Toona sureni, and Litsea cubeba, were found to be highly active.
Plants have been a source of medicines and have played crucial role for human health. Despite tremendous advances in the field of synthetic drugs and antibiotics, plants continue to play a vital role in modern as well as traditional medicine across the globe. In even today, one-third of the world’s population depends on traditional medicine because of its safety features and ability to effectively cure diseases. This book presents a comprehensive guide to medicinal plants, their utility, diversity and conversation, as well as biotechnology. It is divided into four main sections, covering all aspects of research in medicinal plants: biodiversity and conservation; ethnobotany and ethnomedicine; bioactive compounds from plants and microbes; and biotechnology. All sections cover the latest advances. The book offers a valuable asset for researchers and graduate students of biotechnology, botany, microbiology and the pharmaceutical sciences. It is an equally important resource for doctors (especially those engaged in Ayurveda and allopathy); the pharmaceutical industry (for drug design and synthesis); and the agricultural sciences.
A detailed discussion of the need to conserve medicinal plants and their environments.
Sustainable Uses and Prospects of Medicinal Plants presents information on less known and underexplored medicinal plant species in various regions of the world. The book investigates current advances in medicinal plant science and includes detailed information on the use of green nanotechnology, characterization of plants, conservation, revitalization, propagation, and pharmacological activities of selected plants. A volume in the Exploring Medicinal Plants series, it collects information on less known medicinal plant species in various regions of the world for documentation profiling their ethnobotany, developments in their phytochemistry, and pharmacological activities and provides an in-depth look at some specific herbal medicines of importance, threatened and less known species and addresses sustainable utilization and conservation of medicinal plants to ensure existence and use. Appropriate for plant and biodiversity conservation organisations, community leaders, academicians, researchers, and pharmaceutical industry personnel, the book comprises innovative works with information of what is expected to address sustainability in the future.
