This new volume looks at the applications of biomarkers as
important tools for herbal drug discovery, presenting research on
phytoconstituents with advanced nanotechnological applications for
healthcare benefits. Herbal drug discovery based on biomarkers is
an emerging area in complementary and alternative medicine that has
tremendous potential in healthcare. Conventional medications have
limited efficacy and high toxicity, whereas herbal drugs are said
to provide wide structural diversity that is not usually seen with
conventional/synthetic drug molecules. Recognition of various
herbal constituents, such as terpenoids, fatty acids, flavonoids
and steroids, are well explored in the management and treatment of
various disorders in this volume. These agents target various
biomarkers such as nitric oxide (NO), cytokines, chemokines,
adhesion molecules, NF- kβ, lipoxygenase (LOX), and arachidonic
acid. Biomarkers as Targeted Herbal Drug Discovery: A
Pharmacological Approach to Nanomedicines discusses
phytoconstituent-based nanotherapeutics with applications for some
specific health issues, such as arthritis, leishmanicidal,
cardiovascular diseases, cancer, ocular disorders, etc.
Reviews phyto-actives and their targeted action in the management
of various cancers Looks at the use of phytochemical-based
nano-cosmeceuticals for beautification Explores emerging concepts
of vitamins and nanocarriers as nutraceuticals Discusses the
advantages of bioactive-loaded nanomedicines over conventional
phytotherapies

The nanotheranostics sector provides a very promising strategy for
monitoring drug biodistribution and pathology longitudinal
processes by integrating the imaging and drug delivery functions in
one single nanoformulation, providing vital insights into the
identification of tumour and predicting the efficacy of
nanomedicine. For its unique properties, which include their small
size and biocompatibility and ability to permeate the cellular
membrane with carrying drugs, nanomaterials have been used for
various biomedical applications. This book covers the
progress made in hormone-related cancer and their management by
nonmedicinal therapy for targeting the hormone regulated cancer
with their clinical progress and clinical hurdles.
