Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The research on anti-cancer agents from natural products is currently booming. There are a huge number of investigations pertaining to every step and link of natural products study on anti-cancer agents. This Special Issue aims to review and summarize the advances in the field of natural products, including extraction and separation, chemical structure and its modification, efficacy and pharmacology, drug delivery system, drug combination and clinal application. The emerging interdisciplinary directions and fields are also welcome, such as immunotherapy. There are no restrictions on the types of articles, and both original research papers and review papers are welcome.
We are hoping to provide informative studies to our audiences, for example, efficient extraction or separation methods for natural products exploring, significant leading compound investigation, in-depth molecular mechanism study on anti-cancer effects, application of novel materials or structures in drug delivery systems, natural products combined with first-line drugs, or some clinical trials on certain potential candidates derived from natural products.
