      abstract = {Medicinal plants and their derived products remain as an  indispensable source of bioactive molecules that serve as  either drug candidates or lead compounds for drug design  and discovery. There are several advantages for  plant-derived therapeutics including wide availability,  diverse pharmacological actions and a generally good  profile of safety and tolerability. Over the recent years,  there have been numerous reports from clinical studies  testifying to the efficacy and safety of medicinal plants  and phytochemicals in ameliorating several human diseases.  A plethora of basic studies has also unravelled molecular  mechanisms underlying the health benefits of herbal  medicines. Nevertheless, issues such as identification of  bioactive ingredients, standardization of the products and  drug interactions remain to be further studied. In this  book, we aim to put together several chapters on the  medicinal properties and pharmacological action of  medicinal plants, plant species and phytochemicals. The  goal of this contributed volume is to present a  comprehensive collection on most important therapeutic  aspects of plant-derived natural products and their  molecular mechanisms of action.},
