Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The plant kingdom exhibits a large quantity of natural products of terrestrial and marine fonts. Plant-based products have been widely explored and used in the prevention and treatment of various physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Therefore, researchers have demonstrated attention to the bioactive compounds derived from plants with therapeutic action. The development of biotechnological approaches can determine the physicochemical properties of phytochemicals, ameliorating the biological effect of these molecules or reducing adverse effects. Nanomedicines have been of keen interest in scientific laboratories and industries. However, phytochemicals and nano-phytopharmaceuticals exhibit diverse difficulties since in vitro laboratory assays are on the pharmacy shelf. Therefore, this call will accept basic research, clinical research, reviews, and case studies about this theme.
