الملخص

Medicinal Plants: Bioactive Compounds and Their Therapeutic Potential offers a comprehensive overview of medicinal plants as valuable sources of natural therapeutic agents. The book examines the principal classes of plant secondary metabolites—including terpenes, essential oils, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, tannins, lignans, stilbenes, and alkaloids—and explains their chemical characteristics and biological functions. It further explores their antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities, highlighting their potential in addressing major health challenges such as antimicrobial resistance, oxidative stress, and inflammatory disorders. Particular attention is given to bioavailability, safety, toxicological evaluation, interactions with conventional medicines, quality control, standardization, and the translation of preclinical findings into clinical applications. This book provides students, researchers, healthcare professionals, and specialists in pharmacology and phytochemistry with a clear scientific foundation for understanding the therapeutic importance and responsible use of medicinal plant compounds.
