Medicinal chemistry and pharmacology are closely associated fields, and the use of natural products for their medicinal properties is ever-growing. The study of drugs from natural products and their effects on the living body are explored in this volume. The book looks into the research, discovery and characterization of the chemicals that exhibit biological effects. Providing an informative compilation of research, valuable case studies, and review of existing literature in the area, the book focuses on the ethnobotanical uses of natural products and phytochemicals for health care, including applications for diabeties, ulcers, wound healing, managing chronic alcoholism, hemorrhoidal treatment, cancer mitigation, pain management, immunotherapy, and more. The book briefly describes bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, innovations, and societal applications.

Natural Products Pharmacology and Phytochemicals for Health Care: Methods and Principles in Medicinal Chemistry provides a practical and comprehensive overview of the daily issues facing pharmaceutical researchers and chemists. This volume provides new coverage of some of the latest technologies and approaches in drug discovery.
