About this ebook

Plant-Based Drug Discovery: Unveiling Molecular Targets for Metabolic Conditions provides an in-depth examination of the molecular mechanisms of phytochemicals and their potential in treating metabolic diseases. This comprehensive guide begins with an introduction to the prevalence and impact of metabolic disorders, emphasizing the significant role of phytochemicals in their management. The book delves into scientific concepts and research findings, offering valuable insights for researchers and healthcare professionals in the fields of molecular biology, biochemistry, pharmacology, and biotechnology. Chapters cover various crucial topics such as oxidative stress, epigenetic mechanisms, and mitophagy.In addition, they explore the targeting of molecular chaperones and the molecular targets of plant nutraceuticals for treating obesity, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. The book also addresses technological advances, including AI and nanotechnology, highlighting opportunities and challenges in improving the use of plant molecules for metabolic disorder treatments. It serves as an essential resource for those engaged in drug discovery and related areas. - Considers the therapeutic application of phytochemicals for the treatment of metabolic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes - Explores phytochemicals at the molecular level, covering signaling pathways of oxidative stress, mitophagy, inflammasomes, molecular chaperones, receptors, and how these mechanisms can be used to treat diseases - Discusses the use of artificial intelligence and high-throughput omics technologies in plant-based drug discovery
