Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
The end of the last century witnessed a vigorous resurgence in the interest in, and use of, medicinal plant products. Medicinal plants play an important role in the discovery of new drugs and innovative mechanisms of action.
Medicinal plants contain multiple compounds that, either individually or together, are responsible for the biological effects of these natural products. Although many plant-derived natural products have already been isolated and characterized, the molecular mechanisms underlying their therapeutic effects remain unexplored. This Special Issue aims to comprehensively cover the newest discoveries in herbal medicinal products with an emphasis on their molecular targets and pharmacological activity. Therefore, I cordially invite authors to contribute original articles, as well as reviews, covering the most recent advances in the use of medicinal plants.
Prof. Dr. Raffaele Capasso
