Description - Encyclopedia of Drug Discovery and Development by Ned Burnett

Natural products are a consistent source of potentially effective compounds for the treatment of several disorders. It is believed that the tropical and Middle East regions have the most abundant supplies of natural products across the globe. Secondary metabolites obtained from plants have been employed by humans to treat health disorders, acute infections and chronic illness for a large number of years. Natural products have been greatly replaced by synthetic drugs in the past 100 years. Estimates of 200,000 natural products in plant species have been revised upward as mass spectrometry methodologies have advanced. For advancing countries the recognition and use of endogenous medicinal plants as cures for cancers have become appealing. This book presents essential topics in drug discovery covering an introduction to biochemical pharmacology, anticancer drug discovery, drug interactions, molecule screens to identity inhibitors of infectious disease, oxidative stress in human infectious disease, etc.
