Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bio.Natural Meeting (Bioactive Natural Products Research Meeting) aims to be a forum for researchers who are developing projects exploring the multiple applications offered by natural products. These compounds are being screened as new ‘drug leads’ on drug discovery or being modified via rational drug design and semi-synthesis, in order to offer innovative therapeutic alternatives for the treatment of cancer, infectious diseases or other health problems. Other studies are focused on the potential of marine, herbal or mineral materials as bioactive agents for cosmetics or medical devices. Moreover, the proven benefits of nutrients from naturally-sourced ingredients are demanding new approaches for research on food and food supplements for human nutrition.
In this Special Issue of Biomolecules called “Selected Papers from Bio.Natural 2019”, we would like to emphasize the high value of natural products, particularly in the scientific topics of the Bio.Natural Meeting: Natural products in drug discovery; natural products chemistry; bioactivity of natural products; marine natural products; cosmetics; functional foods and food supplements, and other fields related to natural products.
