Camptothecin and Camptothecin Producing Plants: Botany, Chemistry, Anticancer Activity and Biotechnology

Camptothecin And Camptothecin Producing Plants: Botany, Chemistry, Anticancer Activity and Biotechnology provides updated information on camptothecin yielding plants, chemical diversity of camptothecin, extraction and exploitation methods, biosynthesis, biotechnological production and enhancement for drug delivery, and pharmacological properties of the drugs with modern approaches. It focuses particularly on camptothecin anticancer properties based on recent developments of biotechnology. The book presents such topics emphasizing the anticancer activities, biosynthesis, potent derivatives currently undergoing experimental phases, and biotechnological methods to enhance the production. There are many review articles available regarding camptothecin, however this book covers several different aspects of the topic in one single place, making it a reference on camptothecin research. This book is a valuable source for cancer researchers, oncologists, biotechnologists, pharmacologists and several members of biomedical field interested in camptothecin and its multiple applicability in cancer treatment. Provides information on camptothecin producing plants and their anticancer properties for the development of new treatmentsDiscusses new applications of camptothecin making use of recent biotechnology advancementsEncompasses information on pharmacology of camptothecin to leverage new anticancer drugs developments INDICE: 1.
