Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce the 2nd edition of our Special Issue on bioactive compounds derived from medicinal plants. Building on the success of the first edition (Bioactive Compounds from Roots, Stems, Leaves, Flowers, Fruits, and Seeds in Molecules), which garnered significant interest and high-quality submissions, this new edition will continue to focus on the isolation and characterization of active constituents from various plant parts. In the present Special Issue, the isolation of bioactive compounds from roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds of any medicinal plant and traditional medicine will be predominately covered. However, other relevant topics can be included, such as the following:
- New bioactive compounds from any plant part, including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds;
- Bioactive compounds from plants identified via a mechanism study;
- Analysis of bioactive compounds from plants using a QNMR or MS-MS study, including a metabolomic study;
- Isolation techniques for bioactive compounds from plants;
- Standardization methods for active natural medicine or plants using active compounds.
We encourage a diverse range of submissions centered on the identification of bioactive compounds, while studies focused solely on bioassays or mechanisms using plant extracts will be excluded. We look forward to receiving your contributions as we continue to advance the research field of natural products.
