Due to advances in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and medicine, the commercial pharmaceutical industry is growing across the globe. Currently, allopathy uses synthetic pharmaceutical drugs for the treatment of diseases, but this practice also exposes patients to significant side effects. Since ancient times, other systems of medicine have been developed that utilize plant-based extracts and molecules to treat various diseases with fewer side effects. While changes in lifestyle, including diet, have had a significant impact on the increased risks of various diseases, there is substantial scientific evidence, both epidemiological and experimental, that vegetables and fruits are key features of diets associated with lower risks of diseases such as cancers and infections. These efforts to identify and create medications from plants are leading to increased manufacturing for larger clinical trials. The continuing scientific research of medicinal plants will undoubtedly provide a wealth of novel, structurally varied, bioactive chemicals. This edited volume provides an overview of various medical systems, with a special focus on microbial and plant-based drug molecules for treating communicable and non-communicable diseases, making it an invaluable resource for researchers, scientists, and practitioners interested in the potential of plant- and microbe-derived secondary metabolites in the ongoing search for innovative, effective, and safer medicines. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReaders will find this book: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides an overview of different types of sources and drug molecules used in allopathic, homeopathic, ayurvedic, Chinese, and Unani systems of medicine;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHighlights past and current methods of alternative, complementary, folklore, and integrative medicines;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses the benefits and side effects of the drug molecules used in different systems of medicine at the global level;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores microbial and plant-based drug molecules for treating various communicable and non-communicable diseases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResearchers, academics, industry, and governmental experts working in the fields of natural science, natural products, synthetic chemistry, pharmacology, and medicinal chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface xxiii\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgment xxv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Drug Discovery and Secondary Metabolites: An Overview 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eArfa Ji, Asfer Hamid, Ehtishamul Haq, Dar Murtaza, Andleeb Amin, Asma Hakak and Zubaid ul Khazir\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Relationship Between Allopathic Medicine and Secondary Metabolites: Opportunities in Drug Discovery 15\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRajaguru Arivuselvam, Sai Eswar B., Mohamed Sheik Tharik A., Raf iuddin Mohammed, Umesh M., Vasanth Raj P., Raman Rajeshkumar, Amit Anand and Kenganora Mruthunjaya\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Endophytic Microorganisms in Traditional and Modern Plant-Based Medicine: Diversity, Biomedical Applications, and Future Prospects 57\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDhara Rajput, Borra Yesaswi, Angel Raju, Lalhmunsiami, Balaji Sathyanaryana Gupta, Haripriya G., Nallupillai Paramakrishnan, Rajaguru Arivuselvam, Amit Anand and Kenganora Mruthunjaya\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Historical and Current Scenario of Ayurvedic, Unani, and Chinese Medical Systems 111\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTaha Gökmen Ülger\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Historical and Present Scenario of Folklore System of Medicine, Homeopathic System of Medicine 137\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNyla Ajaz, Fauzia Rehman, Iman Fatima, Tahira Ansar Sanam, Ayesha Bibi, Khadija Umer Farooq and Tahreem Iftikhar\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Alternative System of Medicine vs. Traditional System of Medicine 151\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePriyanka Parhad, Sanjana Agrawal, Neha Singh and Kamlesh Jain\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Cost, Benefits, and Side Effects of Alternative, Complementary, and Traditional Medicine to Control Non-Communicable Diseases 177\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbida Rani, Shehbaz Ali, Mudasir A.
