This comprehensive book delves into the intersection of gum arabic, a natural product derived from Acacia gums (AGs) like Acacia sengal, Acacia seyal, and Acacia polyacantha gum, and breast cancer (BC) biology from a biotechnology perspective. It explores the rich history, intricate extraction processes, characterization, and diverse biological applications of secondary metabolites (SMs) sourced from AGs.
The chapters offer in-depth discussions on topics such as the physicochemical properties of AGs, cutting-edge extraction methods for secondary metabolites, and their extensive biological applications, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. Furthermore, the book examines the latest advancements in breast cancer research, its alignment with sustainable development goals, and the promising applications of AG’s secondary metabolites in BC cell lines.
Additionally, it explores the exciting opportunity to transfer cancer-on-a-chip technology to Islamic Development Bank member countries (IsDB-MCs) and the innovative use of breast-on-a-chip technology utilizing AGs-secondary metabolites (SME). This book uniquely combines the fields of biotechnology, breast cancer biology, and natural product research, offering a fresh perspective on the potential role of gum Arabic in breast cancer research and treatment.
Who should read this book? Researchers in biotechnology, oncology, and natural product chemistry will find this work invaluable. Whether you’re exploring new frontiers in cancer treatment or seeking novel therapeutic approaches, this book provides critical insights into innovative strategies for combating breast cancer. It is also an essential resource for policymakers interested in integrating development goals with healthcare advancements.
