Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Celebrating its 20th year, Pharmaceuticals is delighted to invite scientists to contribute articles and literature reviews on the impact and potential of natural products in health promotion and disease prevention. This Special Issue aims to explore the intersection between natural products and pharmaceutical science, highlighting recent discoveries and innovations. Natural products, encompassing a wide range of biological substances, have been used for health enhancement and disease treatment since ancient times. With the advancement of modern science, these products are being reevaluated, offering therapeutic benefits. This Special Issue seeks to gather research on the efficacy, safety, mechanisms of action and therapeutic potential of natural products. We are particularly interested in studies addressing the following themes: identification and characterization of new bioactive compounds; molecular mechanisms by which natural products influence health and disease; clinical studies testing the efficacy and safety of natural products; synergies between different natural compounds; and the regulatory and ethical implications of using natural products as nutraceuticals. This Special Issue is expected to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of advancements in natural product research, encouraging discussion and collaboration among scientists, health professionals and policy-makers.
