Synopsis

Drug-delivery Systems of Phytochemicals as Therapeutic Strategies in Cancer Therapy elucidates the importance of various phytochemicals in cancer therapy and explains various routes/methods to deliver phytochemicals for overcoming the problems associated with delivery systems in cancer treatment. Several nanotechnological methods are presented to enhance drug solubility, sustainability, bioavailability, and gastrointestinal permeability of these phytochemicals. Current understanding of the relevant information presented on therapeutic strategies in cancer therapy fulfils the requirements of oncologists, molecular biologists, pharmacologist and related researchers who want to work in the areas of drug development targeting phytochemicals for cancer therapy.

About the Authors

Dr. Akhileshwar Kumar Srivastava works as a Research Associate (ICMR) in CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute, Mysore, India. In his eight years of research, he has published approximately 20 research articles and book chapters in international and national journals of repute. His research specialization is primarily in the area of pharmacognosy with genetics, metabolomics, bioinformatics, and molecular biology-associated targeting cancer diseases. In addition, he has studied at Augusta University (formerly, Georgia Regents University) in Augusta, GA, United States on a J-1 Exchange Scholar Visa and at Ben-Gurion University, Israel. He is also a life member fellow in Indian Science Congress and Agriculture, Nutrition and Health Academy, United Kingdom.

Divya Singh is presently working as Scientist-B in Department of Mulberry Physiology, CSRTI, Mysore, India. Her research specialization is primarily in genetics, proteomics, metabolomics, toxicology, bioinformatics and molecular biological evaluation in various in vivo and in vitro plant models to elucidate the physiological changes and evaluate the DNA damage potency. In her 11 years of research experiences, she has published 8-peer reviewed publications, two books (1 edited and 1 authored) including 6 book chapters and several meeting presentations at local and international scientific meetings.

Dr. Rajesh Kumar Singh is currently working as a Research Associate in Banaras Hindu University. His research focus is pharmacognosy, reverse pharmacology, drug design and discovery, extraction & isolation of natural products, cell culture, and handling of different rodents. He has published several research articles in reputable journals over the course of his career. At present, he is involved in developing an Indian origin cell line and screening drugs of natural origin for the treatment of gallbladder cancer.

From the Back Cover

Phytochemicals and derivatives have become promising alternatives to increase treatment potential in cancer patients with minimal side effects. Drug-delivery Systems of Phytochemicals as Therapeutic Strategies in Cancer Therapy elucidates the importance of various phytochemicals in cancer therapy and explains various routes/methods to deliver phytochemicals for overcoming the problems associated with delivery system in cancer treatment. Several nanotechnological methods are followed to enhance drug solubility, sustainability, bioavailability and gastrointestinal permeability of these phytochemicals. The advanced field of drug-delivery systems explains that combination therapy for cancer treatment has important benefits over mono-delivery therapeutics. Natural compounds, because of their biobased origin, have drawn higher attention than synthetic drugs. Synthesis of nano-phytomedicines has impacted the bioavailability of phytochemicals. Novel formulations have been synthesized loaded with phytochemicals and have revealed extraordinary results in treatment of various cancers. Current understanding of the relevant information presented in Drug-delivery systems of phytochemicals as therapeutic strategies in cancer therapy fulfils the requirements of oncologists, molecular biologists, pharmacologist and related researchers, who want to work in the areas of drug development targeting phytochemicals for cancer therapy
