About this book

Plants produce secondary metabolites that humans harness for their own benefit. About half of drugs currently in clinical use are based on these chemicals found in nature.

This book is ideal for researchers in the areas of biochemistry, medicine, and pharmacology.

  • Covers all aspects of medicinal plant research
  • Explains biosynthetic pathways for chemists
  • Special emphasis on future trends
