About this title

Synopsis

This book delves into the vital role of plants and their bioactive compounds in human health, emphasizing their medicinal and nutritional significance. It highlights the growing concern of drug resistance in anticancer and antimicrobial medications, compelling clinicians, and researchers worldwide to seek alternative solutions. Plants offer a diverse array of compounds, serving as a promising resource for novel and safe drug candidates and potentially enhancing drug efficacy while being easily metabolized in the human body. Their cost-effectiveness, safety profile, and minimal side effects make them an ideal source for developing new drug regimens. The book aims to attract students, teachers, and researchers across various disciplines, covering topics such as biochemistry, pharmacology, botany, medicinal chemistry, virology, nutrition, clinical biochemistry, and biomedicine. The book will explore the medicinal and nutritional importance of plants and their products, showcasing their applications in medicine, industries, cosmetics, therapeutics, and preventive measures.
