Plant-Derived Anticancer Drugs in the OMICS Era

Biosynthesis, Functions, and Applications

Looks at medicinal plants and their uses that have beneficial results against cancer. Topics include Unani approaches of anticancer plants, genetic engineering and CRISPR/CAS-mediated editing to enhance anticancer potential, computational approaches, and more. It also examines the metabolomics of plants that give them anti-cancer properties.

The current anti-cancer synthetic medicines are deemed inefficient and unsafe, state the editors of this new book. Plant-based lead molecules, however, such as taxol, camptothecin, podophyllotoxins, vinblastine, vincristine, homoharringtonine, and numerous other anticancer compounds from nature’s arsenal, are potentially safe and can be powerful alternatives that effectively fight against cancer.

The volume looks at a variety of medicinal plants and approaches that have shown beneficial results against cancer. Topics in the book include Unani approaches of anticancer plants, genetic engineering and CRISPR/CAS-mediated editing to enhance a plant’s anticancer potential, computational approaches used in anticancer plants, and more. The volume also examines the metabolomics of plants that give them anti-cancer properties.
