Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent findings on the relationship between natural products (purified compounds, plant extracts, herbal medicines, complex formulations) and pharmacological activity, including specific and pleiotropic action.
We encourage authors to submit studies on a wide range of topics, including molecular mechanisms of multitarget action based on network pharmacology approaches and clinical trials.
