SETS FORTH A FRAMEWORK FOR THE ANALYSIS AND STUDY OF FLAVONOIDS
More and more dietary supplements contain flavonoids. These products are typically viewed as food rather than drug products by regulatory agencies and therefore not subjected to rigorous clinical trials before they are marketed to the general public. As a result, the use of flavonoid-containing supplements presents a potential public health risk. From discovery to therapeutic application, this book is a comprehensive guide to both achiral and chiral flavonoids, enabling researchers to perform essential preclinical and clinical pharmacokinetics studies in order to ensure the efficacy of flavonoids marketed for therapeutic use. Moreover, the book examines the safety and toxicology of flavonoids as well as flavonoid-drug interactions.
With contributions from a multidisciplinary team of leading researchers, Flavonoids Pharmacokinetics reviews and synthesizes the most recent research findings and results from preclinical and clinical studies. The book begins with a comprehensive overview of polyphenols and flavonoids. Next, the book covers:
Methods of analysis of achiral flavonoids
Preclinical pharmacokinetic of flavonoids
Toxicology and safety of flavonoids
Methods of analysis for chiral flavonoids
Clinical pharmacokinetics of flavonoids
Flavonoids and drug interactions
Throughout the book, the authors provide examples that demonstrate the use of pharmacokinetics concepts during the preclinical and clinical drug development process.
Flavonoid Pharmacokinetics is written for pharmaceutical, food, and nutritional scientists and students, offering the tools they need to thoroughly analyze and test flavonoids and flavonoid-containing supplements to ensure their safety and efficacy.
Synopsis:
Highlighting the extremely important preclinical aspects of flavonoids, including pharmacokinetics and analysis in biological samples, Flavonoid Pharmacokinetics covers the methods of analysis and pharmacokinetics (preclinical and clinical) of flavonoids to help readers comprehend pharmacokinetic terminology, understand the large number of compounds that encompass the flavonoid family, appreciate the multiple analytical methods available, and assess preclinical and clinical pharmacokinetics of flavonoids and similar chemical-derived compounds. The book uses applicable examples in different preclinical species and humans to strengthen pharmacokinetic concepts and to demonstrate how they apply on the preclinical and clinical drug development process.
