Polyphenolic Compounds and Their Nanoformulation: Metabolism and Impact on Human Health

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is intended to provide the latest advancements in the role of dietary polyphenols and their metabolic products and nanoformulation in the prevention of diverse diseases, namely, neurogenerative, cardiovascular, cancer, chronic kidney, hepatic diseases, diabetes as well as bacterial and viral diseases. The Issue will also provide comprehensive systematic reference to plant-based polyphenols and their derivatives—their mechanism of action; beneficial effects; and function in disease prevention, ageing, and improvement of overall human health.

The contents of the Issue will be separated into two primary areas in order to facilitate the collection of information relevant to the aforementioned facts. First, we will discuss polyphenols and derivatives, including the different types of sources and classes of polyphenols and derivatives, as well as their nanoformulation for biomedical applications in the prevention of bacterial and viral infections. The second topic area will cover the beneficial health effects of polyphenols, their metabolic products, mechanisms of action, and roles of these molecules in the prevention of diverse human diseases.
