Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plants are the natural product sources preferred by patients to treat and prevent diseases and illnesses. This is due to the minor side effects, and their greater affordability compared with that of conventional medicine. The scientific community, in the last twenty years, has strongly turned its attention towards this great inexhaustible source of drugs. The present Special Issue on "Natural Product Pharmaceuticals" invites scientists to submit papers focused on natural herbal remedies, innovative articles, and reviews about natural medicines, from drug discovery to drug delivery and beyond. News or insights into the re-use of wastes and byproducts of the food industry with potential health benefits are also welcome.
Dr. Maria Rosaria Lauro
Guest Editor
