Globally, natural medicine has been considered as an important
alternative to modern allopathic medicine. Although natural
medicines are popular in society, only limited medicinal herbs have
been scientifically evaluated for their potential in medical
treatment. This book connects various aspects of the complex
journey from traditional medicine to modern medicine. It provides
information on topics including global regulations and regulatory
hurdles, diverse nutritional challenges and potential health
benefits, novel food innovations especially seed-to-clinic
approaches, and future trends. FEATURES * Provides information on
sustainable use of natural products in the development of new drugs
and clinically validated herbal remedies * Discusses issues on
evaluation and clinical aspects of herbal medicine, promotion and
development, safety evaluation, metabolite profiling, biomarker
analysis, formulation, and stability testing * Describes
traditional uses of natural medicine through identification,
isolation and structural characterization of their active
components * Elucidates mechanisms of biological action, adverse
effects and identification of their molecular targets of natural
medicine * Multidisciplinary appeal including chemistry,
pharmacology, pharmacognosy and cell and molecular biology, as well
as integration with clinical medicine This book serves as an
essential guide for individuals researching natural medicines, and
industry employees in areas including drug development,
pharmacology, natural products chemistry, clinical efficacy,
ethnopharmacology, pharmacognosy, phytotherapy, phyto-technology
and herbal science.
Evidence-Based Validation of Herbal Medicines: Translational
Research on Botanicals brings together current thinking and
practice in the characterization and validation of natural
products. The book describes different approaches and techniques
for evaluating the quality, safety and efficacy of herbal medicine,
particularly methods to assess their activity and understand
compounds responsible and their probable underlying mechanisms of
action. This book brings together the views, expertise and
experiences of scientific experts in the field of medicinal plant
research, hence it will be useful for researcher who want to know
more about the natural lead with their validation and also useful
to exploit traditional medicines.
Evidence-Based Validation of Herbal Medicines brings together
current thinking and practice in the areas of characterization and
validation of natural products. This book reviews all aspects of
evaluation and development of medicines from plant sources,
including their cultivation, collection, phytochemical and
phyto-pharmacological evaluation, and therapeutic potential.
Emphasis is placed on describing the full range of evidence-based
analytical and bio-analytical techniques used to characterize
natural products, including -omic technologies, phyto-chemical
analysis, hyphenated techniques, and many more.

Quality Control and Evaluation of Herbal Drugs brings together
current thinking and practices for evaluation of natural products
and traditional medicines. The use of herbal medicine in
therapeutics is on the rise in both developed and developing
countries and this book facilitates the necessary development of
quality standards for these medicines.This book elucidates on
various challenges and opportunities for quality evaluation of
herbal drugs with several integrated approaches including
metabolomics, chemoprofiling, marker analysis, stability testing,
good practices for manufacturing, clinical aspects,
Ethnopharmacology and Ethnomedicine inspired drug development.
Written by Prof. Pulok K Mukherjee, a leader in this field; the
book highlights on various methods, techniques and approaches for
evaluating the purity, quality, safety and efficacy of herbal
drugs. Particular attention is paid to methods that assess these
drugs' activity, the compounds responsible and their underlying
mechanisms of action. The book describes the quality control
parameters followed in India and other countries, including Japan,
China, Bangladesh, and other Asian countries, as well as the
regulatory profiles of the European Union and North America. This
book will be useful in bio-prospecting of natural products and
traditional medicine-inspired drug discovery and development.
