Abstract

Bioactive Compounds from Medicinal Plants explores the scientific potential of plant-derived natural products, with particular emphasis on polyphenols and flavonoids. Focusing on Ajuga iva, Adiantum capillus-veneris, and Lavandula stoechas, the book connects traditional medicinal uses with modern phytochemical and pharmacological research. It examines antioxidant mechanisms, antibacterial activity, oxidative stress, antibiotic resistance, and the structure–activity relationships influencing biological effects. Particular attention is given to flavonoids as radical scavengers, antimicrobial agents, and potential antibiotic adjuvants. At the same time, the book highlights the importance of chemical standardization, reproducibility, toxicological assessment, bioavailability, and clinical validation. Designed for students, researchers, and professionals, it offers a clear scientific framework for understanding medicinal plants as valuable sources of bioactive compounds.
