Plant Bioactive Compounds in Cancer Treatment

Because of the presence of various biomolecules with potentially beneficial effects, plants have played an essential role in human health. Many bioactive chemicals originating from plants are commonly used as therapeutic agents in medical treatment and health maintenance. As a result, scientific research on their role in modulating a wide range of metabolic and physiological processes, as well as their bioavailability, pharmacological action, and safety, is critical. Several studies have been carried out in recent years to assess the efficiency of plant-derived macromolecules against human ailments. In vitro, in vivo, and in silico studies are increasingly uncovering the molecular mechanisms behind their beneficial effects. The purpose of this Special Issue is to include original research articles, brief communications, and reviews on natural compound-based cancer treatment options. We encourage basic, translational, and clinical research publications on the pharmacology, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and toxicity of natural compounds in the treatment of malignant diseases. Furthermore, studies on their putative molecular mechanisms of action, as well as bioavailability and metabolism, are encouraged. Research into novel cancer treatment delivery technologies is also encouraged.
