Journal ArticleDOI
Renewable energy from Cyanobacteria: energy production optimization by metabolic pathway engineering
TL;DR: The major important biochemical pathways in cyanobacteria are highlighted, and the possibility to influence these pathways to improve the production of specific types of energy forms the major part of this review.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quality control of herbal material and phytopharmaceuticals with MS and NMR based metabolic fingerprinting
TL;DR: In this review the current state of the art of metabolic fingerprinting, focussing on NMR and MS technologies will be discussed and the application of these two analytical tools in the quality control of herbal material and phytopharmaceuticals forms the major part of this review.
Journal ArticleDOI
Artemisia annua as a self-reliant treatment for malaria in developing countries.
TL;DR: A short history of the malaria disease, the people forming a high risk group and the botanical aspects of A. annua, the discovery and development of artemisinins from Artemisia annua have provided a new class of highly effective antimalarials, and the use of ART and its derivatives for the treatment of malaria is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: If therapeutic concentrations can be achieved in target tissues, cinnamon and its components may be useful in the treatment of age-related inflammatory conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ethnopharmacology in overdrive: the remarkable anti-HIV activity of Artemisia annua.
TL;DR: This study provides the first in vitro evidence of anti-HIV activity of the Artemisia annua tea infusion and opens the way to identify new active pharmaceutical ingredients in Artemisiaannua and thereby potentially reduce the cost for the production of the important antimalarial compound artemisinin.
