Many natural products are known to have health-promoting
pharmaceutical activities. For example, capsaicin, curcumin,
epigallocatechin, resveratrol, and quercetin have been reported to
possess anti-inflammatory activity. Additionally, bioactive agents
such as flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids have shown a
protective effect against diseases such as cancer, liver diseases,
cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, diabetes mellitus,
and more. Pharmacological Benefits of Natural Agents compiles the
beneficial effects of bioactive natural agents with reference to
many disease conditions and considers the challenges and future
directions for their use. Covering key topics such as cancer,
pharmaceutical activities, bioactive compounds, and treatments,
this reference work is ideal for medical professionals,
pharmacists, biologists, policymakers, researchers, scholars,
practitioners, academicians, instructors, and students.
In recent years, epidemiological studies have shown a significant
increase of incidences regarding ulcerative colitis (UC) in most
regions of the world. At present, a common therapeutic modality for
inflammatory bowel disorders is the use of anti-inflammatory
agents, including sulfasalazine and acetylsalicylic acid, steroid
hormone, and other immunosuppressive agents. Most of these
treatments are symptomatic and palliative because the etiology of
the disease is not yet established. As a result of no proper drug
available to treat UC, patients with UC are at a high risk of
developing colitis-associated cancer (CAC). It is necessary to
understand the genetic and molecular mechanisms involved in the
pathogenesis of UC and CAC that lead to the path of new drug
discoveries. Diagnostic and Treatment Methods for Ulcerative
Colitis and Colitis-Associated Cancer provides innovative insights
that describe the fundamental understanding of UC and CAC and the
molecular mechanisms behind the etiology as well as modern
diagnostic methods that are employed in UC and CAC. Current
prevention and therapeutic strategies practiced in the pre-clinical
level are also discussed. The content within this publication
examines alternative medicine and dietary intervention and drug
delivery techniques. It is designed for healthcare professionals,
physicians, academicians, researchers, R&D organizations, and
medical students involved in drug discovery and clinical and
therapeutic research.
The field of cancer therapeutics faces significant challenges,
including limited treatment options with adverse side effects and
the emergence of drug resistance. Traditional approaches often fall
short of providing effective and safe treatments, leaving a
critical gap in addressing this widespread disease. Natural
Products as Cancer Therapeutics offers a compelling solution to
these challenges by exploring the untapped potential of bioactive
compounds derived from natural products. This book, authored by
esteemed scholars in biochemistry and pharmacology, provides a
comprehensive examination of these compounds and their diverse
pharmacological benefits. By harnessing the power of nature, this
book presents a fresh perspective on cancer treatment, showcasing
the promising alternative offered by natural products. With its
cutting-edge research and insights, Natural Products as Cancer
Therapeutics has the potential to revolutionize the field of
oncology. Expanding the repertoire of treatment options and
emphasizing the safety and efficacy of natural compounds, this book
empowers researchers, practitioners, and scholars to explore new
avenues in cancer therapeutics. Ultimately, this transformative
resource has the power to improve patient outcomes and contribute
to the ongoing battle against cancer.
Many chemotherapeutic agents are available in today's market that
are highly effective against a variety of cancer types; however,
the major drawbacks of these chemotherapeutic agents are the many
side effects. As an alternative to these chemotherapeutic agents,
there are a number of natural agents that are effective against
cancer that have been tested in preclinical and clinical models
over the years. These natural products must be documented and
discussed in order to provide a thorough overview of all the
options available for cancer treatment. The Handbook of Research on
Natural Products and Their Bioactive Compounds as Cancer
Therapeutics emphasizes the list of natural agents against all
types of cancers and discusses the current state of research in the
fields of natural products and their derivatives against cancer in
preclinical and clinical models. This book also provides insight
into the applications of meditation and mindfulness-based
interventions in clinical and non-clinical conditions. Covering
topics such as cancer therapy, antioxidants, and flavonoids, it is
ideal for students, research scholars, academicians, professors,
scientists, oncologists, doctors, and medical practitioners.
