In the twenty-first century
Pharmacognosy was transformed into a molecular science building on
classic botanical and modern chemical knowledge, leading to a better
understanding of the complex molecular effect - structure relationships
and interactions required for the development of new drugs based on
biologically active plant substances.The work demonstrates the place of
phytotherapy in healing, the role of herbs in complementary and
traditional therapy, and research strategies for the development of
drugs of natural plant origin.This book is primarily designed for
scientific researchers, but is also very useful for undergraduate and
postgraduate students in their professional training. As this book
discusses herbs from all over the world, it is specifically drafted to
be useful not only in Hungary and Europe, but also for people in other
continents as an English language encyclopaedia of medicinal plants and
their biologically active compounds.
