Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A compound having some biological activity in living organisms is considered bioactive. Phytochemicals are naturally occurring bioactive plant molecules that provide humans with several health benefits. In view of this, nature is a valuable reservoir of novel bioactive compounds.
Natural products have a unique chemical diversity, which results in diversity in their biological activities and drug-like properties. Those products have become one of the most important resources for developing new lead compounds and scaffolds.
The prevention and/or treatment of various diseases, including diabetes, hepatitis, allergies, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders as well as health promotion in general has driven conventional and traditional medicines in the search for new phytochemicals and other natural products.
Natural products will undergo continual use toward meeting the urgent need to develop effective drugs, and they will play a leading role in the discovery of drugs for treating human diseases
You are welcome to participate in this Special Issue with original research papers and reviews on Phytochemical Composition and Biological Activity.
