Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Extracts from plants have been used as traditional medicines for thousands of years. Bioactive compounds from natural products, such as terpenoids, polyphenols, glucans, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides and alkaloids, exhibit a plethora of biological properties, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, anti-obesity, and antitumor activity.
We are pleased to announce this Special Issue, entitled "Isolation, Synthesis and Applications of Bioactive Compounds," which aims to publish the latest research and advances in the field of natural product discovery. High-quality research articles and review articles focusing on the most recent advances in analytical methodologies are welcome. Topics include the extraction, isolation, and characterization of active ingredients from natural plants; synthesis strategies of active natural products and analogs; biological evaluation and active mechanisms of natural products; and natural product-based drug discovery and development.
