Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on plant bioactive compounds aims to provide an extensive overview of their potential applications in treating and managing a wide range of human diseases. Plant bioactive compounds, which encompass primary and specialized metabolites, are small molecules naturally produced by various plants. These compounds are notable for their significant biological properties, making them highly useful in medical applications. There is a growing interest in pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds derived from natural products due to their significant health benefits.
This Special Issue seeks to influence the future research trajectory of important natural products and their related bioactive compounds by featuring high-quality, cutting-edge research and molecular insights from research groups worldwide.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Natural products;
- Medicinal chemistry;
- Pharmacology;
- Other related research fields.
We invite original research articles and review articles that cover the molecular aspects of these topics. We look forward to your valuable contributions and to advancing the field of natural bioactive compounds.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
