Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural products are an important source of bioactive agents in the search for new medicines. Among them, alkaloids are secondary metabolites mainly found in plants that exhibit considerable structural diversity and a broad spectrum of therapeutic properties. Over the last few centuries, many alkaloids have gained medicinal importance. In this Special Issue, we encourage the submission of manuscripts that present new data on the extraction and identification of alkaloids, as well as their biological potential. We warmly invite submissions involving current and sustainable methodologies.
