Bioactives and Pharmacology of Lamiaceae
About this book
This new book provides a wealth of information on plants in the Lamiaceae family, noted for their essential oils and bioactives and pharmacological properties. The chapters investigate a wide variety of species, providing for each an introduction, characteristics, properties, distribution, traditional uses, and current and potential pharmacological applications.
Aiming to be a resource for the development of new drugs based on species within the Lamiaceae family, the volume discusses 26 species, including bungleweed ( Ajuga ), Malabar catmint ( Anisomeles malabarica ), beechwood ( Gmelina arborea ), Brazilian mint ( Hyptis crenata ), rosemary ( Rosmarinus officinalis L.), holy basil ( Ocimum tenuiflorum ), and many more.
Edited by the noted botanist T. Pullaiah, PhD, this new volume under his AAP Focus on Medicinal Plants book series, will be a valuable reference for those in drug discovery, botany, and fragrance chemistry.
