Recent Advancement in Prodrugs

Drugs used as medicines have many limitations like low chemical stability, aqueous solubility, or oral absorption/bioavailability, rapid presystemic metabolism, toxicity, inadequate site specificity, or poor patient acceptance/compliance (unwanted adverse effects, unacceptable taste or odor, irritation or pain). Prodrugs design is an approach to overcome these limitations.

Key features

This book covers recent advances in the design of prodrugs. It contains all the significant recent examples of prodrug chemistry developments and will aid academics and researchers seeking to generate new projects in the field.

Neurodegenerative diseases affect millions of people worldwide and are a group of several diseases with distinct pathology, physiology, prevention, and treatment strategies. Recently, natural products especially derived from medicinal plants are gaining momentum to manage neurodegenerative disease safely and effectively. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a ready roadmap for scientifically validated value-added nutraceutical and pharmaceutical safe and effective product for the management of various neurodegenerative diseases

Natural Scaffolds for Prevention and Treatment of Neurodegenerative Disorders will provide compiled information stating several identified neurodegenerative diseases including pathology and physiology. From vast literature on natural products, such asscientifically validated plant bioactives, traditional approaches to combat or prevent neurodegenerative conditions are also included along with molecular mechanisms. The book will further specify:

The book will be very useful for nutraceutical research groups, education institutions, and industries focusing on developing value-added solutions for the management of several neurodegenerative diseases.

Because of increasing antibiotic resistance, stronger antibiotics are reserved for serious active infection, paving the way for a greater use of herbal antibiotics. This book helps dentists in implementing safe and effective natural medicine therapies to complement the current practice guidelines.

Oral diseases continue to be a major health problem world-wide. Oral health is integral to general well-being and relates to the quality-of-life that extends beyond the functions of the craniofacial complex. The standard Western medicine has had only limited success in the prevention of periodontal disease and in the treatment of a variety of oral diseases.

The dentist needs to be more informed regarding the use, safety and effectiveness of the various traditional medicines and over-the-counter products.

Herbal extracts have been used in dentistry for reducing inflammation, as antimicrobial plaque agents, for preventing release of histamine and as antiseptics, antioxidants, antimicrobials, antifungals, antibacterials, antivirals and analgesics. They also aid in healing and are effective in controlling microbial plaque in gingivitis and periodontitis and thereby improving immunity.

The 26 chapters in this unique book explore all the measures to utilize the natural oral care obtained from plants, animals and mineral drugs for dental care.

Medicinal plants contain a variety of bioactive compounds, (also referred to as phytochemicals). in the leaves, stems, flowers and fruits. This book covers these bioactive compounds, their available sources, how the bioactive molecules are isolated from the plants, the biochemistry, structural composition and potential biological activities. Also discussed are the pharmacological aspects of medicinal plants, phytochemistry and biological activities of different natural products, ethnobotany and medicinal properties, as well as a novel dietary approach for various disease management and therapeutic potential. The importance of phytopharmaceutical of plants and potential applications in the food and pharma industries is highlighted.
