Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Phytochemicals, the diverse chemical compounds derived from natural products. They exhibit a wide range of bioactivities, playing crucial roles in human health, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture.
We are delighted to announce the launch of a Special Issue in IJMS, titled "Phytochemicals of Natural Products: Source, Analysis, and Bioactivities". This Special Issue aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and accelerate the translation of phytochemical research into practical applications.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- The isolation, identification, and characterization of phytochemicals;
- Innovative analytical techniques for phytochemical detection and quantification;
- Exploration of phytochemical bioactivities, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, antiobesity, and other properties;
- Studies on the mechanisms of action of phytochemicals.
