A great deal of interest has been
generated recently in the isolation, characterization, and biological
activity of phytochemicals. Phytochemicals have the potential to enhance
pharmaceuticals and drug discovery. As such, there is an urgent need
for current research in the global scope of phytochemicals including the
chemical and physical characteristics, analytical procedures,
biological activity, safety, and industrial applications. The Handbook
of Research on Advanced Phytochemicals and Plant-Based Drug Discovery
examines the applications of bioactive molecules from a health
perspective, examining the pharmacological aspects of medicinal plants,
the phytochemical and biological activities of different natural
products, and ethnobotany and medicinal properties. Moreover, it
presents a novel dietary approach for human disease management. Covering
topics such as computer-aided drug design, government regulation, and
medicinal plant taxonomy, this major reference work is beneficial to
pharmacists, medical practitioners, phytologists, hospital
administrators, government officials, faculty and students of higher
education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
