Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The phytochemical analysis of natural products has been an important tool not only from a chemical point of view but also as a guide for the validation of their pharmacological activity. This Special Issue “Natural Products: Phytochemical Analysis & Pharmacological Evaluation” will present a collection of papers related to the phytochemical analysis of natural products from live organisms (plants, microorganisms, marine organisms, insects, etc.) in addition to their pharmacological evaluation.
At present, the natural products are receiving increasing interest from many fields of knowledge; as such, your expertise on this topic could contribute to enhancing the interest in this important thematic issue.
We cordially invite researchers working in this field to contribute original research articles, short communications, and critical review articles. Short papers on single compounds are also welcome.
