Bioactive compounds are compounds that are naturally extracted from plants and microbes. They are
designated as energy-dense molecules because they play an important role in the normal functions
and metabolic pathways of life. Not all bioactive compounds have positive impacts on pathways, and
some have negative consequences as well. It has been observed that these derived bioactive compounds
possess remarkable characteristics such as healing, anti-cancerous, anti-oxidant, etc. Phytochemicals
are the bioactive compounds that are present in foods and possess the ability to interfere positively with
the metabolism of human health. They have been classified as alkaloids, terpenoids, phytosteroides,
resveratrol, and cardiac glycosides. It has been observed that these bioactive compounds are the center of
attraction in the drug discovery areas which are utilized against various diseases as plants and microbes
are exploited for the extraction of bioactive compounds.

surrounding subcontinents. Decoction is a basic Ayurvedic dose form that is one of the most commonly
used and thought to be one of the most effective in traditional medicine. Plant ingredients are chopped
into small pieces and soaked in a certain amount of water in an earthenware pot and other vessels to
make decoctions. Polyherbal formulations, such as decoctions, have long been used in Ayurveda to treat
a variety of ailments. It has been discovered that decoction can aid in the treatment and prevention of a
variety of diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases, nasal diseases, allergic rhinitis, cancer, jaundice,
liver disorders and metabolic diseases, cold pathogenic diseases, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and
so on. This chapter delves into one of the oldest types of extractions utilized by our forefathers to treat
a variety of ailments.

Ethnoveterinary medicine is a branch of ethnobotany concerned with the study of traditional remedies.
Ethnoveterinary methods are as old as domestication of numerous livestock species when it comes to
animal healthcare. Herbal medicine has experienced a variety of conceptual modifications over time,
yet its tone has stayed mostly same from antiquity to the present. Antibacterial, antifungal, insecticidal,
and antioxidant action has been demonstrated for plants. Herbal treatment strives to not only cure the
underlying cause of the illness, but also to reverse aberrant symptoms and restore the animals’ health
and vigour.

This chapter tries to describe the most important plant extracts and their bioactive compounds which
determine the antibiotic activity. Pharmacological assays performed for each plant extract are presented,
including the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) as the most used experimental method to determine
antimicrobial activity. Also, the effective associations between classic antibiotics and plant extracts with
antibacterial are presented. The mechanisms of action are deeply explained to the extent that they are
known and discovered by in vitro and in vivo studies. Plant-derived compounds have different mechanism
of action as antibiotics. They can have other target sites than traditional antimicrobials and subsequently
having different mechanisms of action against microbes. Ultimately, this chapter tries to be an invitation
to use plant extract as an alternative to chemical, synthetic antibiotics, or used complementary, synergistic
for better therapeutically results.

Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s diseases and cognitive
disorders originating from these are among the age-related diseases with the highest mortality rates. Our
lifestyle, especially our eating habits, has an effect on neuronal survival. New data shows that improving
dietary habits provides successful results in the prevention or treatment of diseases. The effective role of
bioactive components on neuronal survival helps develop new therapeutic approaches. In this chapter, the
potential benefits of bioactive foods and particularly flavonoids that can be used to reduce the incidence
of neurodegenerative diseases will be examined.

Gut Effect on Phytochemicals .............................................................................................................101
Fatma Cebeci, Bayburt University, Turkey
The gut microbiota play an important role for host nutritional, physiological, immunological functions
like food digestion, vitamin production, protection of gut integrity, regulation of host immunity, and
disease pathogenesis. Dietary phytochemicals are important factors to shape and change the human gut
microbiota composition in diversity and abundance context. On the other hand, the microbial community
of the gut provides a broad range of enzymes to host which are different from its own resources. This
enables human gut microbiota to affect and direct the biosynthesis and metabolism of many bioactive
compounds. Bioavailability of phytochemicals is important to benefit from health conferring effects of
these compounds. Most of the phytochemicals are not absorbed well by the small intestine and pass
through to the gut then gut microbiota acts on the compounds to form different metabolites. Therefore,
elucidating the role of human gut microbiota on phytochemical metabolism is essential. This chapter
discusses the studies reporting the gut microbial effect on different phytochemicals.

Cancer is one of the most deadly diseases caused due to abnormal division of the cells. Researchers
are facing major challenge for finding the effective treatment of the cancer. Various methods of cancer
treatment are chemotherapy, surgery, stem cell/bone marrow transplant, radiotherapy, hormone therapy,
and anticancer drugs. The anticancer drugs may be natural, semi-synthetic, or synthetic in nature. The
most widely used anticancer drugs are the phytochemicals isolated from the plants of their semi-synthetic
analogues. So the research focuses on the isolation and identification of the bioactive compounds from
natural sources as a potent anticancer agent. However, now the trend has been moved from the natural
plant-based products to the natural products mimics of molecule that is the part of human response
system. So, the present chapter briefly highlights the current status of commercialized phytochemicals
used as anticancer drugs along with mechanism of action of some important drugs.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a metabolic disorder related to persistent hyperglycemia. It is characterized
by lack of secretion and/or reduce activity of insulin, which causes many chronic complications.
Medicinal plants offer a passel of remedies that resolve symptomatology and mitigate the progression
of T2D. Although several pre-clinical and clinical investigations indicate the success of conventional
medicine in the prevention and treatment of diabetes, still there are several side effects. Consequently,
this necessitates the exploration of complementary and alternative treatment programs that may include
natural products as safe and effective anti-diabetic candidates. This chapter reviews the medicinal plants
and their bioactive compounds utilized in diabetes therapy and molecular targets of Type 2 diabetes
treatment. The authors elucidate present findings and contribute to ongoing investigations into potential
alternative therapies for T2D.

Neurodegenerative illnesses are disorders that cause considerable loss of neurons, both structurally and
functionally, and affect millions of people globally. These disorders include Parkinson’s disease, which
EBSCOhost - printed on 2/13/2023 11:18 AM via . All use subject to https://www.ebsco.com/terms-of-use
is characterized by the loss of dopaminergic nigrostriatal neurons; Huntington’s disease, characterized by
the loss of spiny, medium-sized striatal neurons; and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), characterized by cerebral
atrophy. As a result of current therapeutic procedures and the progressive nature of these diseases, a
number of side effects have emerged, prompting patients to seek alternative treatment. The concept of
neuroprotection concerns the administration of a specific agent, which should reverse some of the damage
or prevent further adverse changes associated with these disorders. The involvement of medicinal plants
and natural products in such situations has proven advantageous due to their manifestation through many
cellular and molecular pathways. This chapter focuses on role of phytochemicals and natural products
on major pathological factors in NDs.

Microbial infections and antibiotic resistance are two of the most serious threats to society’s health
today. Millions of people die each year as a result of microbial infections. In 2020, the COVID-19
pandemic caused by viral infections was responsible for the highest amount of all deaths that year.
Existing antimicrobial drugs have become less effective, if not ineffective, as a result of the emergence
of resistance. Several antibiotic resistance-fighting strategies have been proposed in recent years. One
strategy proposed to achieve this objective has been to use combination therapy which appears to restore
the desired antimicrobial activity. Several medicinal plants have demonstrated therapeutic effects against
pathogens that cause human infections due to their phytochemicals constituents which have been elucidated
to act as antimicrobial agents. This chapter focuses on phytochemicals as antimicrobial agents, giving
information about infectious diseases and the pathobiology of these diseases. Also, the mechanisms of
antimicrobial activity of phytochemical were discussed.

The Use of Plant Extracts as Potential Cancer Agents: Approach to Plant-Derived Cancer Drugs ... 246
Gizem Akman, Istanbul University, Turkey
The number of people with cancer and death rates are constantly increasing in the world. Although surgery,
radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are still the most preferred methods, they have inadequacies, limited
efficacy, and side effects. Therefore, development of new treatment methods has gained importance.
Natural products were used for medical and therapeutic purposes in ancient times and are still used
today. While some naturally derived molecules have already been shown to be effective against cancer,
studies are ongoing for many natural molecules as cancer therapeutics. There are still many plant species
and compounds whose effectiveness has not yet been discovered in the world. Therefore, identifying
potential natural compounds that can be used in cancer treatment, demonstrating their effects on different
types of cancer, and elucidating their mechanisms of action will lead to the discovery of new natural
compound-derived drugs and overcome the existing difficulties of cancer.

Edible oils are one of the important products that have lately come to light for their beneficial and
nutritional properties. As a result, scientists and the oil industry are always working to demonstrate
the health-giving benefits of both fruit and vegetable seed oils. Fruits are popular for their fleshy parts.
However, the seeds are often discarded since they are thought worthless. This research looked at the
bioactive components found in Cucurbitaceae (Cucurbita spp., Cucumis melo L., Citrullus lanatus) seed
oils extracted using various extraction procedures on Cucurbitaceae seeds from various species and
geographical places throughout the globe. The outcomes of the study show that Cucurbitaceae seed oils
are a good source of nutrients and may be classified as health-promoting compounds. The discoveries
have also cleared the way for the use of these seed oil resources in the production of a broad variety of
therapeutic products.
