Phytochemistry is the branch of science that deals with the study
of plant-derived chemicals or compounds, which are also known as
phytochemicals or plant-derived secondary metabolites. Plants are
known to produce phytochemicals that are essential for their growth
and reproduction, as they protect them from insects, pathogens, and
herbivores. Some of the major groups of plant-derived secondary
metabolites are phenolics, flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids,
tannin etc. Plant-derived phytochemicals are pharmacologically
active and have the potential to cure various human diseases and
disorders. Natural plant products have been known for their
medicinal properties for untold years, and form the basis of
several medicinal systems such as Chinese, Unani, and Ayurvedic
Medicine. This book offers an essential introduction to
phytochemicals and their synthetic analogues. It discusses various
in silico approaches used to identify pharmacologically active
phytochemicals and their biological activities, as well as in vitro
and in vivo models/assays that have been utilized for the
pharmacological profiling of plant-derived products to combat
cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and neurological
disorders. The intended audience includes upper-level undergraduate
and graduate students; researchers and scientists from the
pharmaceutical/food chemistry/nutrition sciences/biochemistry, and
clinical biochemistry fields; and medical students. Sharing the
latest findings, the book will familiarize these readers with the
concepts, chemistry, and tremendous potential of phytochemistry.
