Beginning with an overview of bioactive chemical compounds from plants with anti-diabetic properties, the book goes on to outline the identification and extraction of anti-diabetic agents and antioxidants from natural sources. It then explores anti-diabetic plants from specific regions before looking more closely at the background, isolation, and synthesis of key therapeutic compounds and their derivatives, including Mangiferin, Resveratrol, natural saponins, and alpha-glucosidase enzyme inhibitors. The book concludes with a consideration of current and potential future applications.
Combining the expertise of specialists from around the world, this volume aims to support and encourage medicinal chemists investigating natural sources as starting points for the development of standardized, safe, and effective antidiabetic therapeutics.
Zielgruppe
<p>Primarily medicinal chemists and researchers into antidiabetic drug design and drug leads from natural products, with a secondary audience of pharmacologists, biochemist and medical professionals involved in pre-clinical testing, clinical trials and application of antidiabetic drugs. Also of interest to post-grad and academic researchers in these fields</p>
