Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural products have been used for centuries as a source of medicine, and modern analytical techniques have enabled the identification and characterization of their active ingredients. Chromatography is a key technique for the separation and purification of these compounds, and recent advances in instrumentation and methodology have improved the efficiency and sensitivity of these processes.
The current Special Issue will focus on the latest developments in the chromatographic separation and analysis of natural products and medicines, which will cover a range of topics related to the chromatographic separation and analysis of natural products and medicines. Articles will explore the use of various chromatographic techniques, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), and high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC), supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), for the separation and purification of natural compounds. Additionally, the Issue will highlight the latest developments in sample preparation, detection methods, and separation process.
The articles in this Special Issue will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the fields of natural product chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and analytical chemistry. They will provide valuable insights into the latest advances in chromatographic separation and analysis techniques for natural products and medicines, with potential applications in drug discovery, quality control, and clinical research.
