Nanophytomedicine is a branch of medicine that involves the application of nanomedicine-based systems to phytotherapy and phytopharmacology and the use of phytonanoparticles for biomedical applications. Nanophytomedicine covers recent advances in experimental and theoretical studies on various properties of nanoparticles derived from plant sources. This book assesses the recent advancements and applications of plant-based nanoparticles and also highlights emerging concepts of biomimetics. The book contains 24 chapters encompassing various therapeutic applications of phytochemicals derived from plants, ferns, seaweeds, and so on, mediated through nanotechnology and its allied approaches. A fervent attempt has been made to compile every significant advancement in the field of phytonanomedicine so as to accelerate its momentum in the pharmaceutical sector.

Esse volume faz parte dos produtos técnico-científicos da Rede Pindorama (Proc. 407717/2013-7), que é uma iniciativa fomentada pelo CNPq via RENORBIO (Chamada 79-2013) para o desenvolvimento de redes de cooperação de instituições e pesquisadores. Na Rede Pindorama, foram integrados cinco propostas pesquisa, todas com o tema principal no uso e no aproveitamento dos recursos das palmeiras (Arecaceae). A Rede também possibilitou a formação de recursos humanos em todos os níveis e envolveu instituições de todos os estados do Nordeste, com participação de outras instituições nacionais e até uma do Estados Unidos da América (Montgomery Botanical Center). A Rede Pindorama teve a coordenação geral a cargo do Prof. Francisco de Assis Ribeiro dos Santos da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana.
