Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The therapeutic potential of natural antioxidants, derived from medicinal plants and foods, has been increasingly highlighted. In addition to their wide range of biological activities already demonstrated, natural antioxidants have a beneficial effect on human health by protecting against free radicals. Given the important role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of many clinical conditions, natural antioxidants can be allies in the treatment and prevention of several diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, acute and chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, and cancer. These properties have increased the consumption of natural antioxidants in nutraceuticals and nutritional supplements, although further investigations are still needed to assess the real therapeutic potential of these compounds.
The special issue "Pharmacological Properties of Natural Antioxidants" invites researchers to contribute original research articles and review articles related to plant-derived antioxidant compounds with potentially useful pharmacological properties for human health. Topics of interest include the characterization of pharmacological properties of natural antioxidants, studies of mechanism of action, pharmacokinetic profile, and adverse effects, in addition to clinical trials.
