PHYTOCHEMICAL DRUG DISCOVERY FOR CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDERS

Understand herbal and plant-based treatments for chronic disorders with this groundbreaking work

Due in part to the aging of the global population, disorders of the central nervous system have become an increasingly grave public health concern in recent years. Demand for pharmaceutical treatments has been correspondingly high, but there are many barriers to the successful development of effective synthetic drugs. Phytomedicines, or plant-based and herbal medicines, have proven to be an effective alternative, boasting lower toxicity and cost and higher efficacy, and one that demands greater research and broader-based practitioner knowledge.

Phytochemical Drug Discovery for Central Nervous System Disorders meets this demand with a timely, clearly-structured guide. It thorough coverage presents a wide range of phytochemicals with potential as candidates for drug discovery, describing their sources, properties, and therapeutic efficacy. The result is a vital contribution to the ongoing fight against central nervous system (CNS) disorders.

Phytochemical Drug Discovery for Central Nervous System Disorders readers will also find:

  • Detailed treatment of CNS-active plant products, neuroprotective chemicals, plant-based nutraceutical products, and more
  • Up-to-date information on FDA-approved drugs and existing plant-based products used to treat CNS disorders
  • An authorial team featuring experts from across the globe

Phytochemical Drug Discovery for Central Nervous System Disorders is essential for drug discovery scientists, drug developers, medicinal chemists, biochemists, and any researchers and professionals in the health care or pharmaceutical industries.
