Written by Simone Badal McCreath

The second edition of Pharmacognosy: Fundamentals, Applications and Strategies is a thorough overview of the scientific, technological, and philosophical facets of modern pharmacognosy.

The book looks at how pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are important in understanding the relationships between active metabolites and bioavailability and function at the active sites, as well as the metabolism of plant constituents.It also explores how  advanced pharmacognosy techniques can improve the quality, safety and efficacy of traditional medicines.

The book, which is divided into seven sections, covers the fundamentals of pharmacognosy as well as the chemistry of plant metabolites, their effects, other sources of metabolites, animal-derived crude medications, fundamental animal anatomy and physiology, biotechnology applications and current research trends.

A new chapter on plant metabolites and SARS-Cov-2, significant changes to previously published chapters and the creation of a Laboratory Guide to assist teachers in carrying out hands-on activities in a laboratory setting are all features of this version. discusses the primary natural bioactive substance sources.

includes laboratory exercises and practice questions to assess  retention and learning at the conclusion of each chapter. explains the critical role that pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics play in determining how active metabolites relate to bioavailability and function at active sites. features a special chapter on how plant metabolites affect SARS-CoV-2
