Specialized Plant Metabolites as Cosmeceuticals
Coordonnateurs : Kathuria Deepika, Sharma Ajay, Gandara Jesus Simal
Specialized Plant Metabolites as Cosmeceuticals presents a comprehensive guide to traditional medicinal plants that are used in the field of cosmetics. Chapters cover geographical distribution, extraction of key components from each plant, traditional uses, pharmacognostic characteristics, phytochemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, and future prospects. This book will be a valuable asset for researchers and graduate students of chemistry, botany, biotechnology, microbiology, cosmetology and the pharmaceutical sciences. As medicinal plants are a rich source of a variety of bioactive secondary metabolites, their wide range of pharmacological applications as antibiotics, antifungals, anticancer agents, and antimicrobial and antiviral applications provide new and exciting avenues. In addition, they have great implications for the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and personal care product industries. Secondary metabolites also ecofriendly, cost effective, biocompatible, and cause less side effects as compare to synthetic compounds.
