Chemical Modification And Biological Evaluation Of Lichen Metabolites

This book explores the diverse chemical compounds found in lichens and their potential applications in medicine and biotechnology. Lichens are symbiotic organisms composed of a fungus and a photosynthetic partner, usually an algae or a cyanobacterium, and have been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Author provides a comprehensive overview of the isolation, chemical modification, and biological evaluation of lichen metabolites, with a particular focus on those found in South Asia. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the various classes of lichen metabolites, methods for their isolation and purification, and their chemical modification and characterization. Furthermore, the book provides an extensive review of the various biological activities exhibited by lichen metabolites, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. This information is valuable for researchers interested in the development of new drugs and biologically active compounds. The book also discusses the potential applications of lichen metabolites in biotechnology, such as their use in the production of antibiotics, antifungals, and other valuable products. Additionally, the book addresses the challenges and limitations associated with the isolation and characterization of lichen metabolites. Overall, "Chemical Modification and Biological Evaluation of Lichen Metabolites" is a valuable resource for researchers in the fields of natural product chemistry, biotechnology, and drug discovery. Author expertise in the area of lichen metabolites is evident throughout the book, making it an essential guide for those interested in exploring the potential applications of these fascinating organisms. 9785266462908 5266462906 0 BOOK Technology & Engineering http://books.google.com/books/content?id=qPkn0AEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api http://books.google.com/books/content?id=qPkn0AEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api en 9785266462908
