The present volume 4 of the book series 'Natural Products: Research Reviews' provides the readers with recent information/achievements and about future directions on the subject. The book comprises twenty two review articles, focuses on the potential applications of a diverse group of natural sources prominent among which are as follows: • Anticancer Properties of Anthocyanidins • Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze: Chemical and Nutraceutical Properties • Screening of Silver Nanoparticle Synthetic Efficacy of Some Medicinal Plants • Chemical Diversity, Pharmacological, Nutritional and Therapeutic Novelty of Marine Derived Products: An Infinite Natural Resource • Nutritional and Phytomedicinal Potential of Prunus avium L. • Phytochemical Composition and Different Biological Activities of Alpinia spp. • Treatment of Male and Female Sexual Dysfunctions by Some Natural Herbs • Role of Diet for Management of Anxiety Disorders • Therapeutic Potential of Yarrow (Achilla millefolium) Linn. • Phyto-pharmacological Aspects of Two Hypericum Species • Modified Polysaccharides: Its Needs, Approaches and Applications in Drug Delivery • In vitro Micropropagation and Phytochemical Screening of Oroxylum indicum • Assesement of Genotoxic and Genoprotective Profile of Some Commonly Used Herbal Medicines • Use of Mucilage from Yam (Dioscorea spp.) Tuber for Biotechnological Applications • Natural Aspects of Medicinal Plant Codiaeum variegatum • Diabetic Skin Wound Healing and the Use of Medicinal Plants • Pterocarpus marsupium Roxb. - An Important Medicinal Plant • Digera muricata (L.)
