Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In current practice, there is an increasing emphasis on the substitution of synthetic active substances with pharmaco-active products of biological nature. This replacement is driven by a growing trend to return to alternative practices for maintaining human health by incorporating bioactive elements in the treatment of pathologies that are considered chronic and advanced, where treatment regimens typically involve synthetic molecules with fully demonstrated efficacy. However, it has been shown that nature plays a significant role in maintaining health, though many of the bioactive principles have not yet been fully elucidated. Recent studies have demonstrated the overwhelming strength of plants, leading to the development of pharmaceutical systems based on plants and the active principles within them. Such systems have proven effective in treating metabolic disorders, psychological disorders, skin conditions, and other ailments with antibiotic properties. Their efficacy has been demonstrated to the extent that official reference monographs have included them in the category of herbal medicines.
It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute through your obtained results to their dissemination in a professional and high-quality publishing environment. This will allow you to gain worldwide recognition and provide a personal development perspective through access to similar studies and projects that support enhanced experimental development.
