Bioactive Plant Extracts for Pharmaceutical, Nutraceutical and Cosmetic Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Bioactive plant extracts represent an important topic for researchers working in the fields of plant identification, plant chemistry, natural products, the pharmaceutical industry, and international cosmetic firms.

This Special Issue aims to continue research on the identification of bioactive compounds available in plants. We are not limiting our scope to research articles as we are also looking for review articles in the field of bioactive compounds, advances in tissue culture applications in bioactive compounds, advances in the pharmaceutical applications of bioactive compounds, molecule identification, nutraceutical active materials, and cosmetic applications and product development.

The topics covered in this issue include, but are not limited to:

• Bioactive compounds;
• Plant extracts;
• Pharmaceutical applications of bioactive compounds;
• Nutraceutical applications of active compounds;
• Cosmetic applications of bioactive compounds;
• Product development in the field of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics;
• Advances in tissue culture applications in bioactive compounds;
• Molecule identification;
• Nutraceutical active materials;
• The identification of bioactive compounds available in plants;
• Cosmetic applications and product development;
• Product development in the pharmaceutical industry.
