Medicinal Compounds in Modern Healthcare
From Tradition to Innovation
About this book
This book reviews the evolution, development, and application of medicinal compounds, beginning with their historical context and advancing to modern innovations. The book describes the therapeutic potential of bioactive compounds from microorganisms, the role of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents in managing chronic diseases, and the use of small molecules in pain management and mental healthcare. It further explores immunomodulatory compounds, epigenetic modifiers, and the latest advancements in drug development, including integrative medicine approaches and the applications of nanotechnology in traditional medicine. Additionally, the book addresses the use of immunomodulatory agents like methotrexate and paclitaxel in cancer treatment, regulatory considerations for ensuring safety and efficacy in medicinal compounds, and the growing field of nutraceuticals. Towards the end, the book covers the extraction, profiling, and ADMET evaluation of medicinal compounds, intellectual property challenges, and the significance of traditional medicine in modern healthcare.
