Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plants are a rich source of bioactive compounds exhibiting a wide spectrum of biological activities, including: antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer. Biocomponents found in plants include groups of compounds such as phenolic compounds (flavonoids, as well as phenolic acids and their esters), tannins, alkaloids and terpenes. However, these are not the only groups of compounds with biological activity identified in the plant world. Therefore, the aim of this special issue is to collect original and review articles in order to provide the most up-to-date knowledge about plant extracts.
Suggested topics include:
- identification of bioactive compounds found in plants
- assessment of the biological activity of plant extracts and components isolated from them
- development and validation of analytical methods for the identification and quantification of bioactive compounds in plants
- indication of potential applications of plant extracts and their bioactive ingredients, including: in food, crop and wood protection.

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.
