商品描述
Cancer is one of the leading death cause of human population increasingly seen in recent times. Plants have been used for medicinal purposes since immemorial times. Though, several synthetic medicines are useful in treating cancer, they are inefficient and unsafe. However, plants have proved to be useful in cancer cure. Moreover, natural compounds from plants and their derivatives are safe and effective in treatment and management of several cancer types.
The anticancer plants such as Catharanthus roseus, Podophyllum peltatum, Taxus brevifolia, Camptotheca acuminate, Andrographis paniculata, Crateva nurvala, Croton tonkinensis, Oplopanax horridus etc., are important source of chemotherapeutic compounds. These plants have proven their significance in the treatment of cancer and various other infectious diseases. Nowadays, several well-known anticancer compounds such as taxol, podophyllotoxins, camptothecin, vinblastine, vincristine, homoharringtonine etc. have been isolated and purified from these medicinal plants. Many of them are used effectively to combat cancer and other related diseases. The herbal medicine and their products are the most suitable and safe to be used as an alternative medicine. Based on their traditional uses and experimental evidences, the anticancer products or compounds are isolated or extracted from the medicinally important plants. Many of these anticancer plants have become endangered due to ruthless harvesting in nature. Hence, there is a need to conserve these species and to propagate them in large scale using plant tissue culture. Alternatively, plant cell tissue and organ culture biotechnology can be adopted to produce these anticancer compounds without cultivation. The proper knowledge and exploration of these isolated molecules or products could provide an alternative source to reduce cancer risk, anti-tumorigenic properties, and suppression of carcinogen activities.
Anticancer plants: Volume 1, Properties and Application is a very timely effort in this direction. Discussing the various types of anticancer plants as a source of curative agent, their pharmacological and neutraceutical properties, cryo-preservations and recent trends to understand the basic cause and consequences involved in the diseases diagnosis.
We acknowledge the publisher, Springer for their continuous inspiration and valuable suggestions to improvise the content of this book. We further extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our book contributors for their support, and assistance to complete this assignment. I am sure that these books will benefit the scientific communities including academics, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and medical practitioners.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
癌症是當今人類死亡的主要原因之一，近年來愈加普遍。植物自古以來就被用於醫療目的。雖然幾種合成藥物在治療癌症方面有其效用，但它們的效率和安全性都不高。然而，植物在癌症治療中已被證明是有用的。此外，來自植物及其衍生物的天然化合物在多種癌症類型的治療和管理中是安全且有效的。
抗癌植物如 Catharanthus roseus、Podophyllum peltatum、Taxus brevifolia、Camptotheca acuminate、Andrographis paniculata、Crateva nurvala、Croton tonkinensis、Oplopanax horridus 等，是化療化合物的重要來源。這些植物在癌症及各種其他傳染病的治療中已證明其重要性。如今，幾種知名的抗癌化合物如 taxol、podophyllotoxins、camptothecin、vinblastine、vincristine、homoharringtonine 等已從這些藥用植物中分離和純化出來。它們中的許多已被有效地用於對抗癌症及其他相關疾病。草藥及其產品是最合適且安全的替代藥物。根據它們的傳統用途和實驗證據，抗癌產品或化合物是從具有藥用價值的植物中分離或提取的。由於無情的採收，許多抗癌植物已變得瀕臨絕種。因此，有必要保護這些物種，並利用植物組織培養進行大規模繁殖。或者，可以採用植物細胞組織和器官培養生物技術來生產這些抗癌化合物，而無需進行栽培。對這些分離分子或產品的正確知識和探索，可能提供一種替代來源，以降低癌症風險、抗腫瘤特性及抑制致癌物質的活性。
抗癌植物：第一卷，特性與應用 是在這方面非常及時的努力。討論各類抗癌植物作為治療劑的來源、它們的藥理學和營養學特性、冷凍保存以及理解疾病診斷中基本原因和後果的最新趨勢。
我們感謝出版商 Springer 對本書內容的持續啟發和寶貴建議。我們進一步向所有書籍貢獻者表達衷心的感謝，感謝他們的支持和協助，使這項任務得以完成。我相信這些書籍將惠及包括學術界、製藥業、營養學和醫療從業者在內的科學社群。
