By Siddhartha Pati, Tanmay Sarkar, Dibyajit Lahiri
The consumption of plant-based foods and the use of herbal treatments have been a part of human life since ancient times. This coevolutionary relationship between plants and humans has led to our dependence on food and medicinal plants as sources of essential nutrients and bioactive compounds. Recent research has shown the potential of phytochemicals, which are plant-based compounds, to act as adjuvant agents in traditional therapies for antibiotics and anticancer treatments. These phytochemicals can help reduce the risk of developing resistant microbial strains and cancer cells when used in combination with conventional treatments.
Frontiers of Phytochemicals, written by Siddhartha Pati, Tanmay Sarkar, and Dibyajit Lahiri, explores the various processes involved in the evaluation of phytochemicals from known sources. The book focuses on both the phytochemical and pharmacological evaluations, as well as the computational research into the structures and mechanisms of natural products. It also examines the applications of these phytochemicals in medicine, food, and biotechnology.
