Medicinal Plants of Bangladesh with Chemical Constituents and Uses


Product Description
The Book, Medicinal Plants of Bangladesh with Chemical Constituents and Uses, authored by Professor Dr. Abdul Ghani includes a number of scientific articles and discussions on various aspects of medicinal plants (history, distribution and cultivation, chemical constituents, economic importance, potentiality as raw materials for new drug development, relation with traditional medicine, contribution to modern medicine, research, etc.). This book offers an unprecedented collection of vital scientific information for herbal medicine practitioners, pharmacologists, drug developers, medical chemists, pharmacognosists, phytochemists, toxicologists and the researchers who want to explore the use of plant materials for medical, pharmaceutical and other related purposes. It enlists most of the medicinal plants that grow both naturally and under cultivation or are available as items of commerce in Bangladesh in the form of Monographs with their chemical constituents and therapeutic or medicinal uses and other relevant information on their habit, distribution and pharmacological properties and actions. The other items of the book include a chapter on methods of phytochemical screening, a list of the medicinal plants arranged according to diseases and therapeutic uses, and a glossary of some medical terms. It is hoped that the Book, the first of its kind in Bangladesh, will serve as a guide book for the scientists involved in phytochemical research for discovering new active chemical substances from plants for development of new drugs and also for the practitioners of both indigenous and other traditional systems of medicine. The methods of phytochemical screening described in Appendix I would be very useful for those who wish to pursue phytochemical and pharmacological research in medicinal plants either to discover new constituents or to confirm their presence in plants not examined before. The list of the medicinal plants, arranged according to diseases and therapeutic uses, given in Appendix II, would serve as a very useful ready-guide for those scientists who would like to undertake biochemical and clinical tests on the plants claimed to have therapeutic effects against specific ailments. It is thus hoped that this book would also be very useful to the researchers and students of botany, pharmacy, chemistry, biochemistry and those of modern and traditional systems of medicine.Medicinal Plants of Bangladesh with Chemical Constituents and Uses Review
With vast knowledge and experience, Prof. Abdul Ghani has written a well organized book on medicinal plants of Bangladesh. It presents the subject matter in a logical fashion for the readers. This revised and enlarged version with some new sections and updated scientific information on some medicinal plants is important for the natural product practitioners and researchers.Most wild sources medicinal plants are becoming to extinct due to the lack of appropriate cultivation and preservation of these plants. The addition of a new chapter on the cultivation of medicinal plants is a source of encouragement for the practitioners and researchers to protect medicinal from extinction, and thereby it would be easy to collect medicinal plants with appropriate identification to ensure quality plant drugs. The methods of phytochemical screening included in the revised version would be very useful for people who wish to explore phytochemical and pharmacological research in medicinal plants to discover new compounds for the ailment of various diseases. Although this book has been written with special consideration on Bangladesh perspectives, the information provided in the texts may be considered to satisfy the utmost needs of other countries where natural products are used without any scientific basis. I would recommend this book as one of the required textbook both for teaching and research on medicinal plants for isolating lead compounds for pharmaceutical and medical applications all over the world.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Medicinal Plants of Bangladesh with Chemical Constituents and Uses" are high quality item.
