Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global use of herbal medicinal products continues to grow. Extensive research is performed on plant materials and the development of their preparations for the management of chronic diseases.
Plant raw material and the quality of products made from it must meet the requirements of safety and stability efficiency, and bioactive compounds are the key determinants. Plants are complex matrices containing a body of secondary metabolites with notable biological effects. Different subspecies, chemovarieties, and cultivars exist which might have strong influences on efficacy and safety. The phytochemical profiles highly depend on the genetic origin, harvesting time, environmental conditions of growing area, and phenological cycle. Thus, elucidation the phytochemical profiles and activity markers are essential for the standardization of herbal materials for the comprehensive characterization of herbal drugs. Studies of phytochemical composition and evaluation of biological and technological properties of plant materials are important applied scientific tasks. This Special Issue aims to collect research dealing with the determination of bioactive secondary metabolites in plants that have relevance in chemophenetics, pharmacognosy, phytotherapy, and functionalization.
