"Traditional systems of medicine are fast emerging as viable alternatives to modern medical science. Further, in recent years the emphasis on botanicals as source for drug discovery and development has been realized globally. Added to this, the safer profile of herbal drugs combined with their low costs make them ideal targets for newer drugs. As in the modern system of medicine, viz. allopathy, herbal drugs form an inseparable part of the management of various disorders. The concept of scientific validation of the basis of traditional uses of herbal medicines has given birth to a new concept of reverse pharmacology, and interactions between traditional and modern systems of medicine are being increasingly encouraged. Recent Advances in Herbal Drug Research and Therapy showcases some of these crucial and emerging issues relating to herbal drugs. This compilation is a judicious combination of research and conventional aspects on the subject of herbal drugs, their pharmacology and therapeutic applications. Some very relevant general and systemic pharmacological as well as toxicological aspects have been highlighted by some of the leading experts in this field. The book will be of interest to students, scientists, teachers and other health professionals in the area of pharmacology, toxicology and allied health sciences."

"This book introduces the methodology for collection and identification of herbal materials, extraction and isolation of compounds from herbs, in vitro bioassay, in vivo animal test, toxicology, and clinical trials of herbal research. To fully understand and make the best use of herbal medicines requires the close combination of chemistry, biochemistry, biology, pharmacology, and clinical science. Although there are many books about traditional medicines research, they mostly focus on either chemical or pharmacological study results of certain plants. This book, however, covers the systematic study and analysis of herbal medicines in general - including chemical isolation and identification, bioassay and mechanism study, pharmacological experiment, and quality control of the raw plant material and end products"

"Cepat berkembangnya resistensi terhadap pengobatan malaria menuntut gencarnya usaha untuk menemukan pengobatan baru dan cara untuk menghambat timbulnya resistensi, seperti menggunakan terapi kombinas. Dua ekstrak tanaman yang terbukti pada beberapa penelitian in vivo memiliki efek antimalarial adalah kulit batang Flamboyan (Delonix regia) dan daun Sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata Nees). Pada penelitian ini diujikan kombinasi dari kedua ekstrak tersebut pada rasio 1:1, 3:1, dan 1:3 dengan desain penelitian eksperimen in vivo, menggunakan mencit Swiss-webster dan Plasmodium berghei. Setelah dievaluasi pada hari ke-4, peningkatan parasitemia ketiga kelompok uji tidak memiliki perbedaan yang signifikan dengan kelompok placebo. Selain itu, hasil persentase inhibisi masing-masing kelompok uji < 50%. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa ketiga jenis kombinasi tidak terbukti memiliki efek antimalaria. Dari ketiga jenis kombinasi, kelompok rasio 1:1 memiliki efek inhibisi parasitemia paling baik, ditinjau dari median peningkatan parasitemia pada hari ke-4 dan persentase inhibisi di hari ke-4.

The fast growing resistance toward malaria treatment, demand us to develop a new medicine that can also prevents resistance. One way of doing this is by using a combination therapy. Two herbal extract that had been proven to have antimalarial property is Flamboyan's (Delonix regia) stem bark and Sambiloto's (Andrographis paniculata Nees)'s leaves. In this in vivo experimental study, we evaluate the antimalarial effect of the combination of both extracts in a Swisswebster mice that is infected by Plasmodium berghei in the ratio of 1:1, 3:1, and 1:3. In the 4th day of therapy, all 3 combination ratios show no significant difference compared to the mice treated with placebo. Moreover, the percentage of inhibition of the three combination ratio are less than 50% which indicates that all three therapy has no antimalarial effect. Among the three combination, 1:1 ratio has the best inhibition of parasitemia of 15 percent."

"Wiart presents evidence that natural products are not only able to protect neurons and boost their activities, but also to induce neuritogenesis, raising the possibility that flowering plants helped apes evolve into Homo sapiens during the Tertiary period. In the near future, he says, they may also allow complete victory over neurodegenerative diseases."--ProtoView.com, April 2014"
