Advancement of Phenolic Acids in Drug Discovery

Advancement of Phenolic Acids in Drug Discovery: Fundamental and Applications offers comprehensive coverage of the ADMET profiles of phenolic acids, their extraction method and prospects for drug design and development.

Chapters overview phenolic acids and their characterization, discuss the role of phenolic acids in plant systems, present sources and detailed extraction methods of phenolic acids, and cover phenolic acid mechanisms of action as it relates to several key diseases and health conditions, including their role as antioxidant agents, anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, anti-microbial drugs, anti-viral drugs, anti-cancer drugs, diabetes and metabolic dysfunctions, neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases.

The book’s final chapters cover nanoscience aspects of phenolic acids, biomedical applications, and concludes with challenges and opportunities presented by phenolic acids.

This is the ideal reference for researchers in the fields of drug development, both in academia and corporate settings.

Researchers of related areas like food science and medicinal chemistry will also benefit from this in-depth profiling of therapeutical properties of phenolic acids.
