Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Plants are a source of a wide range of compounds that are ingredients in many pharmaceutical agents. However, while there are many scientific reports regarding the identification of new compounds, their pharmacological activity has not been fully investigated. For this reason, accompanied by the fact that medicinal plants are still an interesting subject of scientific work, the search for new biologically active compounds and studies on new applications of already known natural compounds, especially in lifestyle-related diseases, are interesting and necessary.
This Special Issue, titled “Bioactive Compounds from Plants and their Therapeutic Applications in Lifestyle-related Diseases”, aims to collect both original articles and comprehensive reviews related to the research aimed at elucidating the pharmacological actions of plant-derived compounds using methods-based on cell lines and laboratory animals, as well as clinical trials. Submitted manuscripts should focus on the wide range of diseases related to lifestyle, such as obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis, hepatic steatosis, dementia, and mental health disorders. Papers reporting medicinal properties with new molecular mechanisms will be appreciated. Authors are encouraged to submit their research based on single components as well as mixtures, upon comprehensive chemical characterization.
We believe that the papers collected within this Special Issue will contribute to the treatment and prevention of lifestyle-related diseases, which may help save many patients.
We are looking forward to your contribution.
