The book goes over the isolation of anticancer agents and the technologyenabled screening process used to develop anticancer drugs. The book also includes discussion of the nutraceuticals and natural products
derived from invertebrates that can be used as part of cancer treatment.
Evolutionary Diversity as a Source for Anticancer Molecules also deals with some of the current challenges in the prevention of cancer as well as the side effects of conventional drugs used for cancer patients.
This book is a valuable resource for cancer researchers, oncologists, biotechnologists, pharmacologists, and any member of the biomedical
field interested in understanding more about natural products with anticancer potential.
- Discusses the application of natural products in place of conventional drugs to minimize the side effects in cancer treatment
- Explains the relation between evolutionary mechanisms and climate change for production of secondary metabolites
Cancer researchers, bioinformaticians, molecular biologists, medicinal chemists, pharmacists
