About this Research Topic
Within the process of scientific validation of TM and their synthetic analogs to be a potential candidate for being developed as high quality Pharmaceutical products, which may provide significant solutions to the growing global health challenges that include infectious and chronic inflammatory diseases, various kinds of cancers, aging societies and rising healthcare costs. This Special Issue invites original research and review articles on the isolation of bioactive molecules from all sources of natural products or their synthetic scaffolds. Emphasis is placed on describing the full range of scientific studies, including isolation, synthesis and structure elucidation, bioactivity screening of compounds, and identification of drug lead compounds such as antimicrobials, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic and anti-cancers.
The topic of this Special Issue is intended to cover scientific and experimental data, as well as information on natural or synthetic compounds, in directions related to the following:
• Capacity of medicinal substances, which have been examined in vitro/ in vivo or in-silico, against pathogenic microbes;
• Mode of action of these medicinal compounds and the basic mechanisms by which natural products function or act;
• Natural products derived with efficient bioactivities;
• Synthetic compounds with potential bioactivities;
• Biomolecules derived from natural products or synthesized used in experimental or clinical studies.
Keywords: Natural compounds, Synthetic compounds, Structure elucidation, chronic diseases, Inflammation, cancer, mechanisms
