Plant Bioactives as Natural Panacea against Age-induced Diseases: Nutraceuticals and Functional Lead Compounds for Drug Development

Plant Bioactives as Natural Panacea Against Age-induced Diseases: Nutraceuticals and Functional Lead Compounds for Drug Development presents in detail the complications of aging and the bioactive phytochemicals that in specific herbal formulations including beverages can mitigate them. The book extensively describes the current information not only on the role of plant bioactive components in delaying or preventing the aging process and associated complications, but also the different strategies and scientific evidence of the possible synergistic effects of these studies, enabling the formulation of more effective natural drugs to intervene in aging and associated events. Chapters cover the broad areas of plant bioactive compounds in promoting healthy aging and longevity, including balancing glucose homeostasis, in cognitive impairments, age-related diseases, food trends and the anti-aging diet in Asia and other regions, as well as the social and economic impact of dietary patterns in aging interventions. Written by a team of global experts, Plant Bioactives as Lead Compounds for New Drug Discovery Against Aging and Related Diseases is the ideal resource for drug developers, phytochemists, plant biochemists, food and medicinal chemists, nutritionists and toxicologists, chemical ecologists, taxonomists and analytical chemists.
