Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Medicinal plants are reported worldwide to treat various pathological conditions that affect human health. However, we need to validate these species' potential pharmacological and toxicological properties, analyze the chemical profile, and verify the action of these molecules in chemical and biological tests.
This Special Issue, titled "Pharmacological activities of medicinal plants", aims to present studies that report the chemical characterization of botanical species and their pharmacological activity and isolation of molecules with bioactive properties. Moreover, studies proving that the medical plant lacks biological propriety are welcome.
