A large and very active research field is dedicated to identifying biosynthesized compounds, to improve/develop new methodologies, to produce/reuse natural compounds, and to assess their potential for pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries, among others, and additionally, to understand their mechanism of action. This book is dedicated to presenting the most recent results on the development of natural compounds’ applications. Ten original research works, organized by applications, and two reviews are included. Each of them contributes to the knowledge advance, insofar as they present new applications for known products, new methodologies to obtain new products, or the evaluation of a given application, with the applications related to health promotion being the most frequently considered. These works are significant contributions and reinforce the dynamic field of natural products’ applications.Medicinebicsscamino acid metabolismcarvacrolmetabolomics dataoxidative stressPenicillium digitatumPrangos pabularia Lindl.volatile oilPTP-1Bosthole5-pentylcyclohexa-1,3-dieneantidiabetic activitychalconesaldol condensationbiological activityflavanonescytotoxicantioxidantanticholinesteraseMaytenuscelastroloidssemisynthesisantibacterial activitystructure–activity relationshiprosemaryrosmarinic acidanticancerantidiabeticcardioprotectiveHelianthus annuusHelianthus strumosusAspergillus nigerCandida albicansCryptococcus neoformansα-pineneoleraconeflavonoidanti-aginglongevityPortulaca oleracea L.Caenorhabditis eleganstotal synthesispimenta d’águaCandidafungistatic effectinhibition of dimorphismGC/MScolorectal cancerSalviae miltiorrhizae radixapoptosishoneypropolisphenolic compoundswound-healing activityNHDF cellsAsteraceaesesquiterpene lactonesalantolactonearglabinparthenolidethapsigarginin vivo studyanti-inflammatoryalmondbyproductschlorogenic aciddesign of experimentphenolic acidsultrasound-assisted extractionnatural compoundstherapeutic applicationsessential oilsantimicrobialantitumorSARMedicineSeca Ana M.
