Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant-derived compounds exert a wide range of biological and pharmacological effects that contribute significantly to human health. These natural bioactive molecules have been shown to reduce inflammation, promote wound healing, exhibit anticancer activity, possess notable antimicrobial properties, and play a protective role against neuronal degeneration.
Despite the wide range of beneficial properties attributed to plant-derived compounds, these activities require further scientific attention and rigorous evaluation. Comprehensive investigation is necessary to identify and characterize new bioactive compounds and to assess their efficacy and mechanisms of action using diverse pharmacological models.
This Special Issue, entitled “Pharmacological Effects of Bioactive Compounds Derived from Plants”, welcomes the submission of original research articles and reviews involving in vitro and in vivo pharmacological effects of natural bioactive compounds from plants, including their possible application in wound healing, cancer treatment, as well as their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Ibrahim Mssillou

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
