Bioactive Phytochemicals from Plant Essential Oils and Extracts, 2nd Edition

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Plant resources containing phytochemicals and natural products with medicinal and healthy functions abound. Most phytochemicals contained in herbal and woody plants are flavonoids, lignans, phenylpropanoids, quinoids, tannins, stilbenes, terpenoids, steroids, saponins, alkaloids, glycosides, etc. Natural products in plants exhibit numerous bioactive properties, including antiaging effects, anti-Alzheimer’s activity, anticancer activity, antihypertensive activity, antigout activity, antimelanogenesis effects, antimicrobial activity, antidiabetic activity, antiobesity activity, etc. The process of extracting phytochemicals that have specific bioactive effects and medicinal properties from plants is one of the important areas in natural product research. Recently, through innovative developments in chromatographic and spectroscopic technology, it has become possible to identify more bioactive phytochemicals in various plants and separate them from their sources. This Topic aims to explore more bioactive plant essential oils and extracts, to isolate and identify phytochemicals possessing specific bioactivities, and to illustrate the mechanisms behind enzyme kinetic assays, model organism study, molecular docking analysis, and so on. By continuing to advance scientific research in this area, it will become possible to obtain more bioactive essential oils, extracts, and phytochemicals from plants and harness their potential in pharmaceuticals and other healthy products.
