Nanophytomedicine

Nanophytomedicine: Harnessing Phytochemicals for Advanced Therapeutics provides a comprehensive overview of phytochemicals, including their sources, extraction methods, classifications, and general applications in medicine. Not only does it describes the properties of phytochemicals, their application for the treatment of different types of hard-to-treat disease, especially cancer, but also the importance of application of different types of nanomaterials as delivery vehicles for phytochemicals are presented. In 18 chapters this book provides detailed insights into the therapeutic properties of phytochemicals, such as their antioxidant, antifungal, anti-inflammatory properties, and their role in treating various diseases, including cancer, neurological disorders, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and more. It describes the integration of nano drug delivery systems with phytochemicals that offers a promising approach to overcome many of the challenges associated with treating hard-to-treat diseases. It not only enhances the therapeutic potential of phytochemicals but also contributes to minimizing side effects, improving patient outcomes, and advancing the field of precision medicine. By addressing these knowledge and information needs, Nanophytomedicine: Harnessing Phytochemicals for Advanced Therapeutics serves as a comprehensive guide for researchers and academia in the field of phytochemical applications in medicine.
