Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aromatic and Medicinal plants are species of great importance for traditional medicine. They are reported in different countries for the treatment of various pathological conditions that affect human health; however, taking into account the need for scientific validation of potential pharmacological and toxicological properties of these species, it is necessary to analyze the chemical profile through the identification, isolation of metabolites and verification of the action of these molecules in chemical and biological tests.
This special edition with the title of “Medicinal and Aromatic Plants: Isolation, Characterization and Biological Activities” aims to present studies that report the chemical characterization of botanical species in different environmental conditions, as well as the chemotaxonomic differences between species of pharmacological importance and isolation of molecules with bioactive properties.
