| Abstract |
This reference work offers a comprehensive overview of the chemistry and bioactivity of mangrove ecosystems, focusing on their specialized metabolites and biological activities. Through this volume, readers will discover the novel secondary metabolites from mangrove flora and their potential applications in various fields.The chapters cover a wide range of topics, including the phytochemistry and biological activities of specific mangrove species such as Acanthus ilicifolius, Avicennia marina, and Rhizophora mucronata. The chapter authors present an expert analysis of the bioactive compounds found in these species, exploring their pharmacological and toxicological properties. Particular attention is given to the anticancer activities of certain compounds, as well as the role of mangrove-associated bacteria and fungi in health management and bioremediation. Readers will also encounter discussions on the synthesis of nanomaterials from mangroves and their antimicrobial properties. |
