Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Phytochemicals are plant-based bioactive compounds produced by plants. Utilizing these components, which are characterized by low toxicity, abundance, and cost-effectiveness, offers a promising strategy for improving individual health and well-being. Phytochemicals, including flavonoids, phenolic acids, and terpenoids, have attracted significant interest due to their antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties.
This Special Issue invites papers that investigate the various effects of phytochemicals, including their roles in the following:
- Scavenging free radicals;
- Inhibiting inflammatory mediators;
- Modulating signaling pathways;
- Identifying molecular targets;
- Mechanisms underlying their mechanisms of action.
The aim of this Special Issue is to advance our understanding of phytochemicals and their multifaceted roles in health and disease management.
We look forward to your valuable contributions to this Special Issue in the form of original papers, reviews, and short communications.
Dr. Shereen Basiouni
