Expert contributors from the fields of natural products research and drug discovery bring awareness to the many problems facing the development of such products, such as quality control, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic issues. The text addresses botanical, phytochemical, PD-PK, as well as analytical and clinical issues.
