Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural products have been used for years to prevent and treat many diseases. Due to their rich and diverse chemical composition, medicinal plants are very intensively used in this area. There is still a huge demand for research on the chemical composition of plant materials, methods of isolating metabolites, their biological activity, their bioavailability, and their metabolism. Our Special Issue aims to create a forum for presenting the latest research in this field and presenting the achievements in this area to date in the form of review articles. It will be extremely valuable to present research on the chemical composition and biological activity of plant materials from various sources—natural sites, crops, and in vitro cultures. Research on isolated metabolites, their activity, the possibility of chemical structure transformations, bioavailability, and metabolism are also interesting.
We look forward to your contribution to this special issue.
