Plant-Based Drug Discovery: Unveiling Molecular Targets for Metabolic Conditions provides an overview of the molecular mechanisms of phytochemicals and how they can be utilized in the treatment of metabolic diseases. The book opens with an introduction to metabolic diseases and the significance of phytochemicals in tackling these disorders, before considering their molecular mechanisms and how they can impact health and disease. Chapters will cover topics including oxidative stress, epigenetic mechanisms, mitophagy, and targeting molecular chaperones. Molecular targets of plant nutraceuticals and phytochemical for specific treatment of obesity, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes will also be covered. The book also considers technological advances such as AI and nanotechnology and their impact in this area, as well as opportunities and challenges for improving the use of plant molecules in the treatment of metabolic disorders. This is a useful book for researchers working across the fields of molecular biology, biochemistry, pharmacology, phytochemistry, drug discovery, biotechnology and related areas.
