 Preface
The chief aim of writing a book titled Herbal Drugs as Therapeutic Agents
is to highlight the contribution of herbal drugs to pharmacology and
in drug discovery. My previous book on Herbalism, Phytochemistry and
Ethnopharmacology was well received and this motivated me to write
a book on therapeutic scope of herbal drugs. Several herbal drugs and
isolated constituents have entered clinical trials in recent times and positive
outcomes have been reported.
Herbal medicine is going to play a significant role in future healthcare
industry. In the past, medicinal plants have provided us with life-saving
drugs, particularly in oncology. To name a few—atropine, digoxin, morphine,
paclitaxel, pilocarpine, reserpine, scopolamine, topotecan and vincristine.
However, several of these compounds have outlived their usefulness in
light of better alternatives.
Herbal medicine is interdisciplinary subject and the expert herbal
scientist blends traditional herbal medicine with botany, ethnobotany,
phytochemistry, pharmacognosy, pharmacology and allopathic medicine.
A large part of the world’s population depends upon traditional herbal
medicine for their daily health requirements, especially in developing
countries. Even in industrialized countries the use of plant-based remedies
is widespread and numerous pharmaceuticals are based on or derived from
plant compounds.
The book starts with a chapter on reported pharmacological activities of
withanolides, followed by a chapter targeting anticancer role of withaferin A.
The chapter on CAM studies some common anticancer therapies. Succeeding
chapters throw light on pharmacological investigations on berberine,
protopine, piperine, liriodenine, andrographolide, hypericin, hyperforin and
above all, anthrquinones. A chapter has been dedicated to alkaloids from
Indian medicinal plants and data on pharmacological investigations.
The chapter on anti-arthritic and anti-acne drugs reviews drugs that
are beneficial for treatment of arthritis and acne vulgaris. Pharmacological
vi Herbal Drugs as Therapeutic Agents

investigations on Indian nootropic, Convolvulus plauricaulis Linn. and

anticancer plant,Viscum album Linn.- have also been covered.
The author trusts that the present book will meet the long-felt need
for a standard book on herbal therapeutics. The author shall be grateful
to readers for pointing out any errors that may be there.
