Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pharmaceutics is planning a Special Issue focusing on Essential Oils (EO) and their possible use in pharmaceutical products for the prevention or treatment of chronic disorders, including cancer. There is rising evidence of the efficacy of EOs and/or their single components for the treatment of several human disorders; regardless, scientific knowledge is still lacking about their biological proprieties or their mechanism of action at a cellular level. Moreover, their use on humans at therapeutic doses require to face with issues related to their pharmacokinetics, formulation, and toxicology. The aim of this Special Issue is to identify EOs or their single compounds as possible therapeutic agents, clarifying their biologic proprieties, their molecular and cellular mechanism of action, and the real possibility of their administration on humans, in order to provide a rationale for their use alone or in combination with other standard therapies.
Dr. Maria Chiara Valerii
