In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the therapeutic potential of medicinal plants and their natural compounds for the treatment of various diseases. Traditional systems of medicine, such as Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and herbal medicine, have long relied on the healing properties of plant-based remedies. However, uncovering the intricate mechanisms underlying their therapeutic effects and harnessing their full potential has remained a complex task. In this book, "Metabolomics and Network Pharmacology in Therapeutic Exploration of Medicinal Plants," we delve into the emerging fields of metabolomics and network pharmacology to provide a comprehensive understanding of the therapeutic exploration of medicinal plants. Metabolomics, a rapidly evolving branch of systems biology, enables the holistic analysis of small molecules (metabolites) within biological systems, shedding light on the metabolic changes associated with disease states and the effects of therapeutic interventions. Network pharmacology, on the other hand, embraces a systemslevel approach to elucidate the complex interactions between bioactive compounds and their targets in biological networks. The integration of metabolomics and network pharmacology offers a powerful framework for unraveling the intricate interactions between medicinal plants and the human body. By combining the detailed profiling of plant metabolites with network-based analyses, we can identify key metabolic pathways, molecular targets, and biological networks that contribute to the therapeutic effects of medicinal plants. This knowledge opens up new avenues for drug discovery, personalized medicine, and the optimization of traditional herbal remedies. This book brings together a diverse group of experts from the fields of metabolomics, network pharmacology, phytochemistry, and herbal medicine. Their collective expertise and research findings provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge in this exciting field. Through a series of in-depth chapters, we explore the methodologies, technologies, and applications of metabolomics and network pharmacology in the study of medicinal plants. We delve into the identification and characterization of bioactive compounds, the elucidation of their mechanisms of action, the exploration of synergistic interactions within plant extracts, and the evaluation of their therapeutic potential for various diseases, including cancer, metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and cardiovascular conditions.
