Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In our first volume dealing with the role of medicinal plants and their marker compounds in clinical practice, we pointed out that herbal medicines and herbal medicines continue to be an integral part of the various healthcare systems. Scientific knowledge on the quality, safety and effectiveness of these herbal medicines and traditional herbal preparations is fundamental and should be deepened to enable more rational use of these medicines. Articles (original research papers, perspectives, reviews, modeling approaches and methods) focusing on quality control, pharmacological, clinical pharmacokinetics, toxicological and pharmacovigilance studies of medicinal plants, herbal preparations, and their key marker compounds as multitarget therapeutical agents are welcome for this Special Issue.
Dr. Olga Maria Duarte Silva
