In the vast realm of healthcare, medicinal plants play a crucial role in providing natural remedies for various ailments. These plants, often found in our own backyards or in remote parts of the world, have been used for centuries by different cultures to treat and prevent diseases. As students of botany, it is essential to understand the importance of medicinal plants and their contribution to modern healthcare.Medicinal plants are a treasure trove of bioactive compounds, which have the potential to serve as the foundation for developing new drugs. Many of the drugs we use today, such as aspirin and morphine, have their origins in medicinal plants. For instance, aspirin was derived from the bark of the willow tree, while morphine originated from the opium poppy. By studying these plants and their chemical constituents, scientists can unlock their therapeutic properties and create effective treatments for various ailments.Furthermore, medicinal plants offer a more sustainable and accessible form of healthcare. In many parts of the world, particularly in developing countries, people rely heavily on traditional medicine derived from plants due to limited access to modern healthcare facilities. Medicinal plants provide a cost-effective alternative to expensive pharmaceutical drugs, making healthcare more accessible to those in need. By promoting the use of medicinal plants, we can bridge the gap between traditional and modern medicine, ensuring that everyone has access to safe and effective treatments.Additionally, studying medicinal plants allows us to tap into the vast biodiversity of our planet. With approximately 400,000 plant species on Earth, only a fraction has been thoroughly investigated for their medicinal properties. By delving deeper into the world of botany, we can uncover hidden treasures and discover new plant-based remedies. This exploration not only expands our knowledge but also opens doors to novel treatments that can address emerging diseases and antibiotic resistance.As students of botany, we have the opportunity to contribute to the field of plant pharmacology and shape the future of healthcare. By conducting research, documenting traditional knowledge, and advocating for the preservation of medicinal plants and their habitats, we can ensure the sustainable use of these invaluable resources. Our understanding of botany and medicinal plants can pave the way for groundbreaking discoveries and advancements in healthcare, benefiting millions of people worldwide.

Currently, there are many complicated health disorders with different etiologies and pathogeneses, including cancers, obesity, periodontitis, cardiovascular disease, liver, skin and renal disorders. It is now known that the causes and pathogenesis of many complex chronic diseases are usually polyfactorial: genetic, environmental, constitutive factors, or a combination of these. Recently, poly-target molecules containing enzymes capable of catalyzing several reactions have been efficiently used in the treatment of several metabolic disorders, and infectious and inflammatory diseases. This book describes the history of the discovery of metformin and its chemistry. Topics presented include new approaches to the role of metformin in the treatment of diabetic patients and its ability to target multiple signaling pathways.

Dosage forms are pharmaceutical formulation products in the form in which they are presented in the market. They are a crucial component of contemporary pharmaceutical research. The field of dosage forms is large and diverse and includes everything from conventional solid and liquid dosage forms to more recent innovations like nanoparticles and gene therapy. This book provides a comprehensive overview of dosage forms, including their formulation and development. Chapters address such topics as novel dosage forms in ophthalmic applications, orally disintegrating tablets, layered tablets, pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenomics, and much more.

The physicochemical properties of drugs limit their delivery in terms of absorption, circulation, residence time, and so on, which in turn impacts the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, toxicity, immunogenicity, and efficacy of these drugs. Various advanced drug delivery systems can overcome such issues and improve therapeutic efficacy. Recent developments in novel drug delivery systems have opened new avenues to providing the safest, most effective, and most stable dosage forms. This book discusses advanced drug delivery systems, including oraganogels, transdermal delivery systems for chronic and acute pain, ocular systems, nanosponges for cancer targeting, and much more.

The role of nanoscale drug carriers for the effective and controlled delivery of drugs and candidate antigens is instrumental in developing therapeutic and vaccine interventions for cancers, infectious diseases and beyond. As teachers of immunobiology, we think this information will contribute to the development of interventional approaches. This book, therefore, will be a valuable addition to existing knowledge in many medical schools and undergraduate courses, providing up-to-date information on drugs and their delivery for maximum therapeutic effect and vaccination potential against infectious diseases, cancers and more. Novel drugs are described, with an assessment of their effective delivery and of drug resistance, especially against cancers. The book is a timely addition to the existing literature on lipid-based nanoparticles and will be a useful resource for students, researchers, and those working in the field of drugs, drug delivery, and drug resistance in infectious and inflammatory diseases.

This book discusses various topics in pharmacovigilance. The first section addresses such topics as approaches to minimize adverse drug reactions, different stakeholders and their importance in pharmaceutical policy development, changing needs for pharmacovigilance in the African region, machine learning applications in pharmacovigilance, and pharmacovigilance of biological drugs. The second section discusses signal detection, which is a promising approach that helps in the early identification of new, rare drug reactions (desired or undesired).

Drug authentication is generally governed by critical procedures. This book presents a comprehensive overview of drug design, highlighting the steps involved from the discovery phase to product approval. Chapters address such topics as drug development processes, pharmaceutical nanoformulations and cosmeceuticals for topical use, ocular drug delivery systems, and drug development involving computer-aided drug design, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

Conventional drug administration has several issues and challenges. Drugs may not be fully absorbed or targeted, some drugs produce undesirable secondary effects and cause organ damage, and others trigger inflammation and immune response. As such, drug carrier systems are being developed to help promote drug absorption, enhance targeting, and avoid or decrease negative symptoms. This book examines different drug carriers and drug carrier systems. Chapters address such topics as the use of polymers in drug carrier systems, thin films, metal-organic frameworks, graphene quantum dots, and nanotechnology and microfluidics for drug delivery.
