Chemical constituents from Elytropappus rhinocerotis and Rhoicissus tridentata : structural and activity studies.
(2016-02-29)Traditional medicines are used by approximately 80% of South African population for their primary health care needs, but the chemistry and biological activity of many medicinal plants have not yet been investigated. This ... -
The chemical investigation of the Amaryllidaceae and Hyacinthaceae.
(2004)This work is an account of investigations into the chemistry of members of the Amaryllidaceae and Hyacinthaceae families. The plants of the family Amaryllidaceae are a large group comprising over sixty genera and more ... -
Chemical prospecting of medicinal plants for drug discovery.
(2010)African traditional medicine relies largely on the abundant African flora estimated at several tens of thousands of species. These plants, like other living organisms, produce natural products which are organic molecules ... -
