Resumen: |
Este libro destaca las últimas investigaciones internacionales sobre diferentes aspectos de las plantas y hongos medicinales. Estudios realizados durante la última década han demostrado que los compuestos bioactivos aislados de hongos medicinales tienen prometedoras propiedades antitumorales, cardiovasculares, inmunomoduladoras, antialérgicas, antidiabéticas y hepatoprotectoras. A la luz de estos estudios, el libro incluye capÃtulos (en su mayorÃa artÃculos de revisión) de investigadores eminentes de doce paÃses de todo el mundo que trabajan en diferentes disciplinas de plantas y hongos medicinales. Se analizan temas como la prevención de los principales mecanismos neurodegenerativos y neurotóxicos por Centella asiatica; las propiedades medicinales y aplicaciones terapéuticas de varias especies de hongos que se encuentran en diferentes partes del mundo; y los endófitos fúngicos como fuente de metabolitos bioactivos, incluidos agentes anticancerÃgenos y cardioprotectores. También hay capÃtulos sobre estrategias para identificar metabolitos secundarios bioactivos de origen fúngico; el uso de información genómica para explorar el potencial biotecnológico de los hongos medicinales; y la fermentación en estado sólido de residuos agroindustriales y forestales para la producción de hongos medicinales. Es un recurso valioso para los investigadores, profesionales y estudiantes que trabajan en el área de plantas y hongos medicinales. |

Summary : |
This book highlights the latest international research on different aspects of medicinal plants and fungi. Studies over the last decade have demonstrated that bioactive compounds isolated from medicinal fungi have promising antitumor, cardiovascular, immunomodulatory, anti-allergic, anti-diabetic, and hepatoprotective properties. In the light of these studies, the book includes chapters (mostly review articles) by eminent researchers from twelve countries across the globe working in different disciplines of medicinal plants and fungi. It discusses topics such as the prevention of major neurodegenerative and neurotoxic mechanisms by Centella asiatica; the medicinal properties and therapeutic applications of several mushrooms species found in different parts of the world; and fungal endophytes as a source of bioactive metabolites including anticancer and cardioprotective agents. There are also chapters on strategies for identifying bioactive secondary metabolitesof fungal origin; the use of genomic information to explore the biotechnological potential of medicinal mushrooms; and solid state fermentation of agro-industrial and forestry residues for the production of medicinal mushrooms. It is a valuable resource for the researchers, professionals and students working in the area of medicinal plants and fungi. |
