Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our upcoming Special Issue, "Research on the Antibacterial and Antioxidant Activities of Plant Extract Drugs". The need for alternative solutions has been intensified following the increasing resistance to conventional antibiotics and the side effects of synthetic antioxidants. This Special Issue will explore the potential of plant extract drugs in overcoming these challenges, with aims to highlight their antibacterial and antioxidant properties. The aim is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms, efficacy, and safety of plant-based therapeutics and their role in modern medicine.
This Special Issue aims to assemble a collection of high-quality research articles and reviews that will contribute to developing the field of plant extract drugs, with a particular focus on their antibacterial and antioxidant activities. We seek to encompass a range of studies, demonstrating the relevance and application of these natural compounds within the scope of pharmacology, toxicology, and clinical medicine. The goal is to curate at least ten articles, with the possibility of the Special Issue being printed in book form.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: identification and characterization of active compounds, mechanistic studies on antibacterial and antioxidant effects, clinical trials and safety evaluations, synergistic effects with conventional drugs, and innovative delivery systems for plant extract drugs.
We eagerly await your contributions.
