Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural products are the most abundant sources for providing unaccountable components with a huge diversity of structures, shedding light on the discovery of new active compounds. Since the last century, many medicinal plants have been well studied. However, it remains significant to continue exploring new secondary metabolites from natural sources and to evaluate their potential.
Moreover, it is also important to generalize the dominant class of natural products from the same species, genus, and family, the same subclass from different sources, and different compounds with the same biological activities, to highlight their natural properties and point out targets in the future.
This Special Issue will focus on:
- research articles on new natural products and their biological activities
- review well-known important medicinal plant species or genus
- review certain subclass of natural products and their therapeutic potentials
- review natural products having particular biological activities
