Screening of potential drugs from medicinal plants and animals provides a promising strategy for the alleviation of the impact of these diseases. Components with potential medicinal applications include RIPs, RNases, lectins, protease inhibitors and numerous small compounds. These compounds have shown both preventive and therapeutic effects for humans. This book is a compilation of articles written by internationally renowned experts exploring the different uses of medicinal compounds in human therapeutics. Here we provide a comprehensive outlook on both qualitative and quantitative studies focusing on medicinal plants and animals, and establishing a link between laboratory research discovery and clinical applications. 606 $aAntineoplastic agents 606 $aTumors$xChemotherapy 606 $aNatural products 615 0$aAntineoplastic agents. 615 0$aTumors$xChemotherapy. 615 0$aNatural products. 676 $a615.3 701 $aFang$b Evandro Fei$01762246 701 $aNg$b Tzi Bun$01762247 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739422303321 996 $aAntitumor potential and other emerging medicinal properties of natural compounds$94202038 997 $aUNINA
