Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore the multifaceted roles of phytochemicals in offering antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial benefits. It seeks to bridge traditional medicinal knowledge with modern molecular science, providing insights into the mechanisms of action, biomedical applications, and potential therapeutic benefits of these natural compounds.
For this Special Issue on "Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, and Antimicrobial Activities of Phytochemicals: Bridging Traditional Knowledge and Molecular Insights", we welcome your contributions in the form of original research and review articles on all aspects of the pathogenesis of the areas of biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, and molecular medicine to create a comprehensive picture of how phytochemicals can contribute to health and disease management.
Topics of Interest:
- Mechanistic Insights into the Antioxidant Actions of Phytochemicals: studies revealing molecular pathways through which phytochemicals exert antioxidant effects.
- Anti-Inflammatory Phytochemicals—From Traditional Use to Molecular Evidence: research papers and reviews that discuss traditional plants' anti-inflammatory properties and their active compounds.
- Phytochemicals as Antimicrobial Agents: investigations into the effectiveness of plant-derived compounds against various microbial pathogens.
- Synergy and Interactions: studies exploring the synergistic effects of phytochemicals in combinations and their interactions with pharmaceuticals.
- Technological Advances in Phytochemical Research: papers on novel techniques and methodologies in phytochemicals' extraction, analysis, and bioavailability studies.
- Safety, Toxicity, and Regulatory Aspects: research on the safety profile, potential toxicity, and regulatory considerations of phytochemical-based treatments.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
