Summary: "Freshwater ecosystems are known for their key role as enhancers of oxygen and water quality and providers of habitat and food to the associated fauna. The bioactive compounds or secondary metabolites such as antibiotics, mycotoxins, alkaloids, phenolic compounds and growth compounds have been reported to show various activities ranging from antimicrobial and antiviral to cytotoxicity and immunomodulation. They serve as sources of valuable pharmaceutical compounds in the development of modern drugs. Taking a comprehensive look at freshwater pharmaceutical compounds, this book presents about 120 species of biomedically important aquatic plants and their pharmaceutical compounds"--Summary: "The book provides insights from biologists and pharmacists regarding the characteristics of freshwater plants possessing bioactive compounds for various activities such as antimicrobial, antiprotozoal, antihelmintic, antiviral, anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anagesic, antidiabetic, anticoagulant, and CNS disorders. The findings can also be useful for related disciplines such as biotechnology, life sciences and environmental sciences"--
