Exploring the Cytotoxic and Antioxidant Potential of Plant Extracts
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is a great honor for us to serve as Topic Editors for the Topic “Exploring the Cytotoxic and Antioxidant Potential of Plant Extracts”. In recent years, pharmacological research has directed its attention to studying the potential biological activities of plant extracts, given the increasing utilization of plants for treating several ailments worldwide and since they are generally considered as safer and possessing minor side effects compared to synthetic drugs. In particular, there is now an outstanding number of studies on the cytotoxic and antioxidant effects of plant extracts. We seek to further underline the importance of these studies by publishing new research or review articles on this Topic. There are no limitations on the type of plant, extracts, or assays used, but phytochemical analyses must fully explain the positive or negative results of the plant extracts from a phytochemical standpoint. We look forward to receiving your papers.
