Handbook of Medicinal Plants of the World for Aging: Botany, Ethnopharmacology, Natural Products, and Molecular Pathways

Autor Christophe Wiart
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 dec 2023

Alphabetical presentation of over 100 medicinal plants and pharmacological rationale for their uses for the ageing. Discusses the medical history, current medicinal uses, and potential candidates as leads for the prevention of premature aging. Introduces the molecular mechanism of natural products on the pathophysiology of ageing.

Notă biografică

Christophe Wiart was born on 12th of August□ 1967 in Saint Malo, France. After his A-levels, he completed his Pharm.D. at the Facultée des Sciences Pharmaceutiques et Biologiques, Université Rennes 2 (France) and earned his Ph.D. in Natural Products Chemistry at the Universiti Pertanian Malaysia. He has taught pharmacognosy at the University of Malaya, and elsewhere. Dr. Wiart is the author of Medicinal Plants of the Asia-Pacific: Drugs from the Future? (2006), Medicinal Plants of Asia and the Pacific (2006), Ethnopharmacology of Medicinal Plants: Asia and the Pacific (2006), Medicinal Plants from the East (2010), Medicinal Plants from China, Korea and Japan: Bioresource for Tomorrow’s Drug and Cosmetic Discovery (2012), Lead Compounds from Medicinal Plants for the Treatment of Cancer (2012), Lead Compounds from Medicinal Plants for the Treatment of Neurodegenerative Diseases (2013), Medicinal Plants in Asia for Metabolic Syndrome (2018), Medicinal Plants from West Bengal and Bangladesh (2019), Medicinal Plants in Asia and Pacific for Parasitic Infections: Botany, Ethnopharmacology, Molecular Basis, and Future Prospect (2020), Medicinal Plants in Asia and the Pacific for Zoonotic Pandemics (2021). He has published numerous articles. Dr. Wiart is presently completing a book on the medicinal plants of North Borneo. Other current research interest include the ethnopharmacological study of the medicinal plants of Southeast Asia for the development of herbals and lead therapeutic compounds.

Recenzii

It gives me significant pleasure to write a foreword to Christophe Wiart’s latest compendium covering plant-related treatments for “premature ageing’. This is an area that has not been covered to any significant extent in translated treatises based on TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) or Ayurvedic-derived treatments (Indian subcontinent and contiguous areas). Ageing includes loss of cognition and includes dementia, which are frequently obvious to relatives of the “patient” and have been treated for centuries in many parts of the world.
This treatise covers the areas that “modern-day” natural product chemists and pharmacognosists would search in order to identify the active principles involved in the “treatment modalities” covered in the text. He has used indigenous lore to identify the plant(s) and/or their components and subsequent treatment, covering over 100 medicinal plants. What is of definite utility is the listing of the different names ascribed to a plant depending upon the sources of the information. This is a point that is frequently overlooked when describing a medicinal plant, since cross-referencing the name(s) used in different languages permits one to search current databases for information.
Another “plus” is his linkage of identified plant entities to information as to their “formal toxicities” which in some cases link-back to identified chemical entities. This part of the overall dataset should not stop any scientific work on the components that are described, since today, methods of delivery of toxic agents are well defined and used.
Therefore, I definitely recommend this handbook to anyone who is interested in potential treatments for premature ageing, be they scientific or medical professionals or people who are interested in the topic for general interest.
