This special issue belongs to the section “Pharmaceutical Science“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant-based drug discovery is an advancing field in addressing the major problems in health care systems which enable pharmaceutical companies to update patient safety and cost-effectiveness by increasing efficacy. This Special Issue, “Discovery and Application of Phytochemicals and Bio actives”, aims to publish contributions that report on novel research findings regarding plant chemical structure, biological activity, and their influence on human health and microbiome. Contributions to this Special Issue should be original research or review articles and short communications on diseases related to biological targets.
