The vast and exciting Brazilian flora biodiversity is still underexplored. Several research groups are devoted to the study of the chemical structure richness found in the different Biomes. This volume presents a comprehensive account of the research collated on natural products produced from Brazilian medicinal plants and focuses on various aspects of the field. The authors describe the key natural products and their extracts with emphasis upon sources, an appreciation of these complex molecules and applications in science. Many of the extracts are today associated with important drugs, nutrition products, beverages, perfumes, cosmetics and pigments, and these are highlighted.

Key Features:

Presents Brazilian biodiversity: its flora, its people, and its research

Describes the emergence of natural products research in Brazil

Emphasizes the increasing global interests in botanical drugs

Aids the international natural product communities to better understand the herbal resources in Brazil
