It is not an overstatement that the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emajority of medicines in clinics, even in the 21st century, have been derived from natural\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eresources despite the decline of industry research into natural products due to a variety\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof drawbacks. Saffron crocus, considered to be the most valuable spice by weight, and its\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebioactive constituents, have been studied for the treatment of a wide range of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epathologies, including neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ediabetes, and even cardiovascular diseases. In this book on the chemistry, pharmacology, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand therapeutic potential of Crocus sativus L. extract and its constituents, we aimed to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eassess new advances in the understanding of the therapeutic action of saffron and its\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econstituents in targeting different pathologies.

Two studies reporting novel methods regarding the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebioanalysis of saffron extracts have been included. The collection is completed with two\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003every interesting reviews reporting advances in the fields of schizophrenia and cancer.
