Phytochemical Analysis and in Vitro Studies

By Mohana S J

In her book, "Phytochemical Analysis and in Vitro Studies," S J Mohana explores the fascinating world of medicinal plants and natural products. Mohana delves into the world of phytochemical analysis and in vitro studies, which are used to identify and study the bioactive compounds found in these plants.

The book covers a wide range of topics, including secondary metabolites, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, cytotoxicity, cell viability, apoptosis, autophagy, molecular docking, enzyme inhibition, phytotherapy, traditional medicine, herbal medicine, pharmacology, nutraceuticals, flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, phenolics, saponins, tannins, anthocyanins, carotenoids, fatty acids, essential oils, plant extracts, cell culture, animal models, clinical trials, drug discovery, drug development, toxicity, safety, quality control, standardization, validation, chromatography, spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry.

One of the key concepts covered in the book is the use of in vitro studies to test the bioactivity of plant compounds. Mohana explains how these studies can be used to determine the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties of plant extracts, as well as their potential for use in cancer therapy.

The book also covers the use of phytochemical analysis to identify and quantify bioactive compounds in plant extracts. Mohana discusses the various techniques used for this analysis, including chromatography, spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry.

Other topics covered in the book include the use of animal models and clinical trials to study the efficacy and safety of natural products, as well as the importance of quality control, standardization, and validation in the production of herbal medicines and nutraceuticals.

Overall, "Phytochemical Analysis and in Vitro Studies" is a comprehensive guide to the study of medicinal plants and natural products. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the potential health benefits of these compounds and their use in modern medicine.
