It highlights how natural compounds obtained from medicinal plants have contributed to modern cancer therapy and continue to provide promising candidates for new treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book presents a broad overview of plant-derived anticancer compounds, including their chemical characteristics, biological activities, mechanisms of action, and therapeutic potential. Particular attention is given to bioactive substances such as alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, lignans, and other phytochemicals that can interfere with cancer development and progression. These compounds may act through different mechanisms, including inhibition of cell proliferation, induction of apoptosis, suppression of angiogenesis, and modulation of signaling pathways involved in tumor growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn important strength of the book is its connection between traditional medicinal knowledge and modern pharmaceutical research. It demonstrates how plants used historically for medicinal purposes can serve as sources for scientifically validated therapeutic agents. The book also discusses the challenges associated with developing plant-derived drugs, such as toxicity, bioavailability, standardization, drug interactions, and the need for clinical evaluation. This book illustrates the potential of plant-derived substances to complement existing therapies and contribute to future innovations in cancer treatment.\u003cbr\u003e It is suitable for students, researchers, pharmacists, pharmacologists, and healthcare professionals interested in learning more about natural products and cancer pharmacotherapy. It emphasizes the continuing importance of plant biodiversity in drug discovery and shows how advances in biotechnology, pharmacology, and molecular research can help transform natural compounds into effective anticancer treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eComprehensively explores the botanical, phytochemical, pharmacological, and therapeutic aspects of plants with anticancer potential.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines the complete pathway from identification of bioactive compounds and preclinical research to clinical trials, drug formulation, and regulatory approval.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEvidence-based discussion of mechanisms of action, clinically relevant plant-derived drugs, therapeutic applications, safety, toxicity, and herb–drug interactions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHighlights emerging approaches including biotechnology, genetic engineering, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, personalized medicine, and biodiversity conservation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese features position the book as a multidisciplinary scientific resource for students, researchers, pharmacists, physicians, and professionals interested in medicinal plants and modern cancer therapy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIoana Stanciu \u003c\/b\u003eworking at the University of Bucharest, Faculty of Chemistry has a 23 years experience in teaching and conducting research on the study of polymers used as additives for lubricating oils, the rheological behavior of vegetable oils and mineral oils added to polymers.
