Phytopharmaceuticals and Herbal Drugs:
Prospects and Safety Issues in the Delivery of Natural Products explores
the delivery aspects of plant-based drugs, providing insights into
formulation constraints associated with plant-based drugs, the
development of novel delivery systems based on polymers or lipids, and
how combining natural products with technological advancements in drug
delivery is making large strides. Some of the best-selling drugs for the
treatment of diseases like cancer, ulcers and malaria are either
natural products or their derivatives, all of which are covered in this
comprehensive resource.
This book
will be useful to researchers working in plant-derived medicines and the
development of their delivery systems, including sections on their
derivatives and analogs that represent over 50% of all drugs in clinical
use. Active ingredients originated from plant resources generally
exhibit compromised desired effects limited by issues such as stability,
solubility, molecular size, bioavailability and toxicity.
- Includes perspectives from academic and industry research
- Provides information on the safety, regulatory aspects and clinical aspects related to plant-based drugs
- Introduces developments of new targeted drug delivery systems
