| book description |

Natural products are rich in bioactive compounds which can be explored for drug development. This new volume, Natural Products in Drug Discovery: Benefits, Challenges and Opportunities, combines the potential of traditional medicine with modern techniques for using products derived from natural sources such as plants, microbes, and marine sources as the basis for drug development. This book presents information on the bioactive potential of natural products with properties that are antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, anti-cancerous, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, antiviral, etc. and their usage in drug development. Recent techniques used for the isolation and identification of bioactive ingredients from natural sources have also been covered. The book reviews the latest developments in the field of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics for harnessing these natural products for commercial applications. The current status of bioprospection and commercialization of natural products-based drugs have also been reviewed. Combining the potential of traditional medicine with modern techniques for the use of natural products for drug development, the book will serve as a useful reference for biochemists, phytochemists, pharmaceutical R&D professionals, students, and researchers working in the field of drug discovery from natural sources.
