Description

Protein Kinase Inhibitors: The Promise of Natural Products in Cancer Therapeutics explores a novel therapeutic avenue for cancer treatment through nutraceutical-based kinase inhibitors. The book covers their historical background, outlook, mechanistic pathways, and clinical aspects, highlighting their relevance in cancer therapy. It also examines the potential of polyphenolic derivatives and other natural compounds in inhibiting key kinases involved in major cancer signaling pathways, focusing on their application in clinical trials and marketed drugs. Sections explore the implications of polyphenols in cancer management, novel sources of breast cancer inhibitors, the role of natural products in lymphoma therapy, and the multitarget potential of phytochemicals.

Each chapter is designed to provide a thorough understanding of how natural products can be harnessed to develop innovative cancer therapeutics. It will serve as a valuable resource for academics, scientists, young researchers, students, and pharmacists working or interested in kinase biology and cancer therapeutics with its unique perspective on using nature's own arsenal to combat cancer.
