Evolutionary Diversity as a Source for Anticancer Molecules - (Paperback)

About the Book

"Evolutionary Diversity as a Source for Anticancer Molecules discusses evolutionary diversity as source for anticancer agents derived from bacteria, algae, bryophytes, pteridophytes and gymnosperms. The chapters have been designed to thoroughly describe their isolation and screening process by using relevant technology to develop anticancer drugs; they also discuss the role of nutraceuticals and natural products from invertebrates in cancer treatment. This book presents a comprehensive approach of evolutionary diversities in natural products starting from the evolutionary mechanism, basic isolation, enumeration, and identification procedures to develop as anticancer agents. It also deals with some of the current challenges in prevention, and treatment of cancer against side effects of conventional drugs along with advanced therapeutic approaches by using natural products. This book is a valuable source for cancer researchers, oncologists, biotechnologists, pharmacologists and several members of biomedical field interested in understanding more about natural products with anticancer potential"--

Book Synopsis

Evolutionary Diversity as a Source for Anticancer Molecules discusses evolutionary diversity as source for anticancer agents derived from bacteria, algae, bryophytes, pteridophytes, and gymnosperms. The book goes over the isolation of anticancer agents and the technologyenabled screening process used to develop anticancer drugs. The book also includes discussion of the nutraceuticals and natural products
derived from invertebrates that can be used as part of cancer treatment.

Evolutionary Diversity as a Source for Anticancer Molecules also deals with some of the current challenges in the prevention of cancer as well as the side effects of conventional drugs used for cancer patients.
This book is a valuable resource for cancer researchers, oncologists, biotechnologists, pharmacologists, and any member of the biomedical
field interested in understanding more about natural products with anticancer potential.
