Discovery and Development of Anti-Prostate Cancer Agents from Natural Products presents cutting-edge research advances in the field of bioactive natural products and natural drug formulations. This new volume in the Natural Products Drug Discovery series focuses on molecules of natural origin and their synthetic analogues that show promising potential to act as anti-prostate cancer and chemotherapeutic agents. Combining foundational background information on cancer mechanisms with details of medicinal structures from natural products, this volume compiles the latest developments from across interdisciplinary fields.
It will serve as a valuable resource for researchers working to discover promising leads for the development of novel pharmaceuticals for prostate cancer, highlighting several key structures from natural products and exploring possible future developments in the area.
