Himalayan Phytochemicals by Sumira Jan

Himalayan Phytochemicals: Sustainable Options for Sourcing and Developing Bioactive Compounds provides a detailed review of the important medicinal plants which have already been discovered in the Himalayan region, outlining their discovery, activity and underlying chemistry. In addition, it supports a global shift towards sustainable sourcing of natural products from delicate ecosystems. Across the world, environmental destruction and overharvesting of medicinal plants are reducing and destroying multiple important sources and potential leads before researchers have the chance to discover, explore or synthesize them effectively. By identifying this problem and discussing its impact on the Himalayan region, Himalayan Phytochemicals: Sustainable Options for Sourcing and Developing Bioactive Compounds frames the ongoing global struggle and highlights the key factors that must be considered and addressed when working with phytochemicals from endemic plant sources.

Dr. Sumira Jan has worked out numerous medicinal plants, focusing on their phyto-geographical distribution, ontogenetic changes, chemical profiling, chemo diversity, and pharmaceutical potential. She received BioCaRe Early Career Scientist Award (2014), prestigious Fast Track Young Scientist Award (2015) and CSIR pool scientist award (2018). She has published over 40 research papers, 16 book chapters and four books (Three with Elsevier and One with Springer). All these books are authored versions focused on the abiotic stress, eco-physiology and metabolomics of various crops. Dr. Nazia Abbas is working as a scientist at the CSIR-Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine. She was selected for the prestigious INSA-Young Scientist Award in 2016 and the DST-INSPIRE Faculty award in 2014. Her current work focuses on the molecular and physiochemical aspects of medicinal plants of the Kashmir Himalayas.
