Cette 3e édition de Pharmacognosie, phytochimie, plantes médicinales a été revue et augmentée de plus de 200 pages : elle s'est enrichie des acquis les plus récents (substances naturelles ou hémisynthétiques) aussi bien que des plantes qui ont tout récemment fait leur apparition dans l'arsenal phytothérapeutique. Construit sur les filiations biosynthétiques, ce traité expose les différentes classes de métabolites primaires et secondaires ainsi que leurs drogues d'origine. Les aspects les plus divers de ces matières premières sont présentés : origine, identité, production, composition, activité, évaluation, contrôles, emplois, transformation, valorisation, stockage... Etayé par une riche bibliographie et une abondante iconographie, l'ouvrage prend désormais en compte les données de la Pharmacopée européenne (jusqu'à son supplément 1999), des Cahiers de l'Agence du médicament et des recommandations de la Commission E allemande. Il inclut systématiquement les indications thérapeutiques que peuvent revendiquer les espèces végétales actuellement utilisées. Cette " encyclopédie " de la pharmacognosie et de la phytochimie s'adresse aux étudiants, enseignants et professionnels dont les activités relèvent de l'exploitation des ressources végétales : pharmacie, cosmétologie, parfumerie, botanique...

Cette quatrième édition de Pharmacognosie, phytochimie, plantes médicinales a été profondément revue, restructurée et augmentée de 150 pages. Elle s'est enrichie des connaissances accumulées en une décennie sur les plantes et leurs produits d'usage récent ou confirmé. Comme les précédentes, la présente édition est construite sur les filiations biosynthétiques et évoque les différentes classes de métabolites primaires et secondaires des végétaux. Elle actualise les données botaniques, chimiques, analytiques, pharmacologiques et cliniques des plantes utilisées à des fins thérapeutiques aussi bien que l'évolution de la réglementation. Intégrant les données de l'édition 2008 de la Pharmacopée européenne et de ses quatre premiers suppléments (07/2009), elle inclut les conclusions des travaux du Comité européen des médicaments à base de plante mis en place après 2004 au sein de l'Agence européenne du médicament. Pour permettre aux professionnels de santé et aux utilisateurs de plantes de bien utiliser les plantes en situation de soins, cette quatrième édition privilégie les données factuelles leur permettant d'évaluer, au cas par cas, la balance bénéfices-risques. C'est ainsi qu'une place majeure est désormais accordée à l'évaluation clinique, aux effets indésirables et aux conditions d'emploi des plantes médicinales. Sans négliger pour autant les substances chimiquement définies obtenues à partir de ces plantes, ni leurs homologues hémisynthétiques ou synthétiques. Prenant en compte l'importance d'une alimentation riche en végétaux dans le maintien d'un bon état de santé, cette nouvelle édition aborde en détail le possible rôle préventif des micronutriments apportés par cette alimentation : fibres, polyphénols, composés soufrés, phyto-oestrogènes, tocophérols, carotènes et autres. Les informations présentées et commentées s'appuient sur une abondante bibliographie : une sélection de 1600 références reflétant la production scientifique des années 2000-2009 propose au lecteur, étudiant ou professionnel, des pistes choisies d'approfondissement.

The field of medicinal/aromatic plant breeding is growing and changing?this resource will help you stay up to date! In this essential book, researchers from large and small laboratories and institutions throughout Europe and the Mediterranean region explore recent developments in the selection and breeding of aromatic and medicinal plants. They take varied approaches?from traditional breeding to the use of molecular markers?and complement them with up-to-date information on biodiversity and resource conservation. From the editors: ?It is widely recognized that a strategy of `conservation through use,? by which plant collection via wild harvesting is replaced by controlled cultivation, is the best way forward if we are to balance human demands with the necessary conservation of the biodiversity represented by these species. That provides one major driving force for research in this field. Another concerns the very real need for improving the quality control of products on the market, both to satisfy consumer demand and to conform with the (justifiably) increasing requirements for standardization and precise identification of the composition of the plant materials being sold for human use. We hope that this volume will give readers a taste of the exciting developments in the field.? Breeding Research on Aromatic and Medicinal Plants examines: breeding for resistance and abiotic factors manipulating natural product accumulation through genetic engineering biochemical and molecular regulation of essential oil accumulation economic and legal considerations that breeders will encounter the ethical aspects of breeding these plants
