Bioactives and Pharmacology of Legumes

Bioactives and Pharmacology of Legumes

Bioactives and Pharmacology of Legumes is a specialized reference that explores the pharmacology of legumes belonging to the Fabaceae or Leguminosae family. It presents a detailed account of plant species, their bioactive compounds, and chemical structures while highlighting their pharmacological activities and therapeutic agents.

The book discusses medicinal activities such as antiviral, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic effects, along with hepatoprotective, nephroprotective, and cardioprotective properties. It also addresses biochemical characteristics including starch, protein, and fibers, which can be applied as binders, excipients, thickeners, and dispersants in the pharmaceutical industry.

In addition, the text integrates traditional medicine knowledge with modern pharmacognosy, nutraceuticals, and herbal pharmacology, offering insights into natural products, phytochemicals, secondary metabolites, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and bioavailability. This combination makes it an essential learning resource for pharmaceutical researchers, scientists, and students involved in clinical research, drug discovery, and experimental pharmacology.
