Natural Products and Their Bioactives in Antidiabetic Drug Discovery: A Comprehensive Guide

Edited by Kanti Bhooshan Pandey, Maitree Suttajit, and Pinar Atukeren, this extensive guide enables researchers to effectively understand and utilize bioactive compounds to target, prevent, and manage diabetes.

Overview

Natural Products and Their Bioactives in Antidiabetic Drug Discovery provides a comprehensive overview of recent research in new drug discovery against diabetic complications based on bioactives from natural products. This book bridges the gap between public research institutes and private companies working to find drugs to treat diabetes, making it an essential resource for researchers and professionals involved in drug discovery and development, health care, medicinal chemistry, phytochemistry, plant science, and toxicology.

Structure and Content

The book is divided into four parts, each focusing on a distinct aspect of diabetes and natural product-based treatments. Part one presents fundamental concepts of diabetes mellitus (DM) and recent drug discovery progress, along with the various druggable targets and challenges. Part two covers bioactive compounds targeting Type-1 Diabetes, while part three focuses on Type-2 Diabetes. In part four, the contributors address gestational DM prevention and management with natural compounds.

Key Topics and Case Studies

The book covers a range of topics, including:

• Obesity risk factor in patients with T1DM and the possible role of nutritional therapy in its management
• The use of natural non-insulin drugs as a novel approach to enhance therapeutic outcomes against T1DM
• The effectiveness of functional foods in intervening in diabetic complications and realistic results in clinical trials
• The implementation of nanotechnology in improving the bioavailability and reducing the threshold dose of bioactive compounds
• The various antidiabetic mechanisms of action of different polyphenols and the immunomodulatory role of NPs bioactives relevance in T1DM therapy
• The effects of natural products on the genetics of gestational diabetes

Case studies and illustrated examples are included in relevant chapters to aid reader comprehension.
