Fungi Bioactive Metabolites

Editat de Sunil Kumar Deshmukh, Jacqueline Aparecida Takahashi, Sanjai Saxena
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 feb 2024

În dezvoltarea noilor agenți terapeutici, utilizarea modelelor de screening pentru metaboliții secundari fungici a devenit un pilon central. Considerăm Fungi Bioactive Metabolites o resursă clinică esențială care sintetizează protocoalele de extracție și valorificare a compușilor din surse diverse, de la ciuperci marine la cele din medii extremofile precum Antarctica. Subliniem rigoarea cu care editorii Sunil Kumar Deshmukh, Jacqueline Aparecida Takahashi și Sanjai Saxena au structurat volumul, trecând de la biologia fundamentală a fungilor endofite la aplicații complexe în oncologie și imunologie.

Reținem organizarea tematică pe patru părți majore care ghidează cititorul prin ecosisteme specifice: endofite, fungi endolichenice și resurse marine. Această ediție 2024 nu se rezumă la o simplă enumerare, ci explorează mecanismele de antibiofilm și utilizarea bioinformaticii în optimizarea producției de Echinocandin și acid Kojic. Clinicienii care folosesc Navigating Endophytic Research for Next-Generation Therapeutics ca referință vor găsi aici o extindere necesară către habitatele marine și extremofile, completând spectrul de cercetare cu date despre metaboliți non-peptidici și pigmenți.

Această lucrare consolidează direcțiile de cercetare explorate anterior de Sunil Kumar Deshmukh în volume precum Ecology of Macrofungi sau Progress in Mycology. Dacă lucrările sale precedente se concentrau pe diversitatea ecologică din India și biotehnologia generală, Fungi Bioactive Metabolites rafinează aceste concepte, țintind direct pipeline-ul farmaceutic și managementul bolilor inflamatorii sau trombotice prin biotransformări avansate.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm acest volum specialiștilor în microbiologie și biotehnologie farmaceutică dornici să exploreze frontiera dintre micologie și medicină. Cititorul câștigă acces la strategii de screening de ultimă oră pentru compuși bioactivi proveniți din habitate inaccesibile, oferind un avantaj teoretic în dezvoltarea terapiilor de generație viitoare împotriva rezistenței bacteriene și a afecțiunilor autoimune.


Despre autor

Sunil Kumar Deshmukh este un cercetător proeminent în domeniul micologiei, cu o carieră dedicată explorării potențialului fungilor în beneficiul sănătății umane. Alături de Jacqueline Aparecida Takahashi și Sanjai Saxena, acesta a coordonat numeroase proiecte de bioprospectare, punând accent pe metaboliții secundari. Experiența sa este reflectată în lucrări de referință precum Fungi and Fungal Products in Human Welfare and Biotechnology și Bioprospects of Macrofungi, unde a investigat aplicabilitatea ciupercilor în sectoarele farmaceutic și industrial. În prezenta lucrare, expertiza sa se concentrează pe integrarea noilor tehnologii bioinformatice în descoperirea de medicamente de origine fungică.


Descriere scurtă

This book presents the exploration and exploitation of various bioactive metabolites obtained from  fungi isolated from diverse habitats for pharmaceutical applications. Various fungal sources have been brought under one umbrella ranging from endophytes, marine fungi, endolichenic fungi to fungi existing in the extremophilic conditions like desert and Antarctica and Artic environment. The book tries to cover maximally the range of the pharmaceutical applications wherein these bioactive agents from fungi have been exploited or are in the clinical pipelines and primarily include antibacterial, antifungal, antibiofilm, anticancer, antioxidant, autoimmunological, anti-inflammatory, and anti-thrombotic diseases. The book further emphasizes on the novel strategies to screen or enhance secondary metabolite production. Some other topics includes peptides, nonpeptides drugs, pigments, and enhancement of production of Echinocandin and Kojic acid. The role of bioinformatics in drug discovery and biotransformations have also been discussed.
This book is going to be a comprehensive treatise and a valuable source for mycologists, biotechnologists, microbiologists, biotechnologists, and undertaking research in pharmaceutical sector as well as academia in setting up their research aspirations for using fungi in the process of drug discovery and development.
