Description & Coverage
Description:

Many natural products are known to have health-promoting pharmaceutical activities. For example, capsaicin, curcumin, epigallocatechin, resveratrol, and quercetin have been reported to possess anti-inflammatory activity. Additionally, bioactive agents such as flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids have shown a protective effect against diseases such as cancer, liver diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, diabetes mellitus, and more.

Pharmacological Benefits of Natural Agents compiles the beneficial effects of bioactive natural agents with reference to many disease conditions and considers the challenges and future directions for their use. Covering key topics such as cancer, pharmaceutical activities, bioactive compounds, and treatments, this reference work is ideal for medical professionals, pharmacists, biologists, policymakers, researchers, scholars, practitioners, academicians, instructors, and students.

Coverage:

Editor/Author Biographies
Radhakrishnan Narayanaswamy is currently working as Professor (Research), Department of Biochemistry, Saveetha Medical College and Hospital, SIMATS (Deemed to be University), Thandalam, Chennai. Before joining here, he had worked nearly six years in Cavinkare Research Centre, Chennai, India; Department of Chemical & Biochemical Engineering, Chosun University, Gwangju, South Korea; Laboratory of Natural Products, Institute of Biosciences (IBS), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Malaysia; Vel Tech TBI and SPIHER, Chennai. His core research interest is to find new/novel bioactive constitutes from natural source (with reference to biological activities such as skin whitening, anti-aging & wound-healing) and bioinformatics.
Prabhakaran Vasantha-Srinivasan is currently working as a Research Professor in the Department of Bioinformatics, Saveetha Medical College and Hospital Thandalam, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Previously Vasantha worked as a Dead of the Department in Bioptechnology in St. Peter's Institute of higher Education, Chennai, India. Vasantha published more than 60 research and review articles in peer reviewed journals.

Ashok Kumar Pandurangan is an associate professor in School of Life Sciences, B.S. Abdur Rahman Crescent Institute of Science and Technology, Vandalur, Chennai, India. He pursued his PhD in the prestigious University of Madras, Guindy campus, Chennai, India in the area of natural products as a therapeutic agent for colorectal cancer. Later, he was postdoctoral researcher in Center for Cancer research, Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute, Oakland, California, USA. Further he completed two postdoctoral research programs in Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Universiti of Putra Malaysia and Department of Pharmacology, University of Malaya, Malaysia. He is currently interested to work in the area of colitis associated cancer (CAC) in murine model. Colitis associated cancer is very common nowadays in developing countries. Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a type of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), if untreated can be a risk of developing as colitis associated cancer. Numerous studies are underway to identify drugs that control both inflammation and cell proliferation. So, he is interested in identify some novel drugs from natural source and elucidate the molecular mechanisms involved in the process of curing colitis associated cancer. He published several articles on the effects of natural agents in these areas of interest.
