Natural products are an important source for drug development. Discovery of Medicinal Plant Products outlines in a succinct form the processes of drug discovery from plants from the research bench to the use of the drug in patients. It equips the reader with basic skills in chemistry, phytochemistry, molecular biology and statistics that are needed to identify new compounds for biomedical research. It will also enable the researcher to start and run validated and robust experiments throughout their research.
