Contributions of African Medicinal Plants to Modern Drug Discovery. 330 $aThis book provides a comprehensive overview of bioactive compounds derived from African traditional medicinal plants, shedding light on their potential applications in modern medicine. It compiles crucial information on compounds with proven in vitro and in vivo activity against various diseases, providing a foundation for further research in drug discovery. The book also introduces the use of these bioactive secondary metabolites in cosmetics, nutrition, and pest control, with detailed description of medicinal plant species, including their botanical names, ethnomedicinal uses, and pharmacological activities, making it an invaluable resource for researchers and pharmaceutical companies. Key concepts include the exploration of secondary metabolites from plants in Ethiopia, Egypt, Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Cameroon, Tanzania, Madagascar, and Nigeria, and Ghana, and their industrial applications. The chapters cover ethnobotanical knowledge, bioactivities, and chemical profiling of these plants, including the ethnobotanical and phytochemical studies of Ethiopian flora, the role of rose-scented geranium in the perfume industry, and the use of fruits and vegetables in treating respiratory ailments. Readers will also discover insights into the use of secondary metabolites for pest control, the conservation strategies for endangered African plants, and the synthesis of bio-nanoparticles for therapeutic applications. The book presents a detailed analysis of medicinal plants with anti-malarial, antileishmanial, improve sexual desire and antimicrobial properties, highlighting their significance in traditional and modern medicine. This volume is an essential resource for researchers, graduate students, and professionals in the fields of natural products, phytochemistry, and pharmaceuticals. It provides a unique perspective on the integration of traditional African medicine with contemporary scientific research, offering valuable insights into the potential of these bioactive compounds in drug development. 410 0$aInterdisciplinary Biotechnological Advances,$x2730-7077 606 $aNatural products 606 $aMetabolism, Secondary 606 $aPlants 606 $aTherapeutics 606 $aPharmacology 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aNatural Products 606 $aPlant Secondary Metabolism 606 $aTherapeutics 606 $aPharmacology 606 $aBiotechnology 615 0$aNatural products. 615 0$aMetabolism, Secondary. 615 0$aPlants. 615 0$aTherapeutics. 615 0$aPharmacology. 615 0$aBiotechnology. 615 14$aNatural Products. 615 24$aPlant Secondary Metabolism. 615 24$aTherapeutics. 615 24$aPharmacology. 615 24$aBiotechnology. 676 $a547 700 $aDekebo$b Aman$01836784 701 $aDekebo$01836785 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911018666203321 996 $aBioactive Secondary Metabolites from Medicinal Plants of Africa$94414954 997 $aUNINA
