Aims & Scope

The Journal of Medicinal Natural Products aims to provide a dedicated platform for the dissemination of high-quality research related to the extraction, isolation, characterization, bioactivities, toxicities, biosynthesis, synthesis, and application of natural products with medicinal properties. Only research that makes new and impactful scholarly contributions to the area of medicinal natural products will be considered for publication. The journal encourages submissions that provide insightful contributions to the field, particularly those that address current challenges and innovations in the discovery and application of medicinal natural products.

Aims:

• To publish high-quality, peer-reviewed research on the chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmacology of natural products.
• To advance the understanding of the role of natural products in medicine, including their mechanisms of action, efficacy, and safety.
• To foster interdisciplinary collaboration among scientists in the fields of chemistry, biology, pharmacology, and medicine.

Scope:

Agriculture: Cultivation, breeding, and sustainability practices for medicinal plants.
Regulatory Science: Compliance with regulatory requirements for the development and approval of natural product-based therapeutics.

Analytical Techniques: Development and application of methods for the detection and quantification of natural products.

Biochemistry: Studies on the biosynthesis and metabolic pathways of medicinal natural compounds.

Biotechnology: Use of genetic engineering and fermentation technology to produce medicinal natural products.

Chemistry: Isolation, structural elucidation, synthesis, and chemical modification of bioactive natural products.

Ethnopharmacology: Documentation and validation of traditional medicines and practices.
Formulation and Delivery: Development of pharmaceutical formulations based on medicinal natural products and their delivery, including pharmacokinetics studies.

Metabolomics: New approaches to metabolomics of medicinal natural products.

Pharmacology: Preclinical and clinical studies on the therapeutic potential and pharmacokinetics of natural products.

In silico studies covering any of the above areas may be considered only if the finding is validated by relevant in vitro or in vivo results.
