Researchers in the field of natural product chemistry and pharmacology focus on discovering new drugs from medicinal plants. The medicinal plants of Sabah (North Borneo), many of which are found in all of Asia and the Pacific, represent a vast array of resources that could be used for the discovery of drugs and the development of cosmetics as well as functional food. No other book focuses on the medicinal plants from this part of the globe in such depth. The author is well known in natural products and this text will appeal to a global audience in presenting the botanical description, chemical constituents, pharmacology, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and functional food potentials of these plants.

Provides a selection of botanical plates of medicinal plants endemic to Sabah, hand-drawn by the author
Provides comment sections to invite further research on the topic of the development of drugs, dietary products, and cosmetics from Sabah medicinal plants
