Medicinal plant-based traditional medicines serve as the primary healthcare systems in various countries even in recent times. Alongside this, medicinal plants have also served as the one of the main sources for the discovery of new therapeutic agents. At present, various plant extracts and their isolated phytochemicals are screened and evaluated for their diverse pharmacological activities related to both communicable and non-communicable diseases. However, comparatively little focus is given to the detailed mechanism of action of these agents on the molecular level. Molecular mechanism-based studies are essential for the development of evidence-based traditional medicines as well as for the development of isolated natural products as the lead candidates for novel drug discovery. This main focus of this Special Issue ?Plant-based Bioactive Natural Products: Insights into Molecular Mechanisms of Action? is to cover the recent advances in science related to the molecular mechanisms of action of natural products. A total of nine articles were published in this Special Issue, including two original research articles and two review articles. This Special Issue has provided some new experimental data on bioactive natural products and their detailed mechanisms of action for biological activities. Similarly, review articles have provided state-of-the-art information on the related topics. I would like to thank all the authors for submitting their manuscripts and the reviewers and editors for their contribution to this Special Issue. Furthermore, I am also grateful to the handling editors and staffs of Applied Sciences for their support during the preparation and finalization of this Special Issue. 517 $aPlant-Based Bioactive Natural Products 606 $aMedicine$2bicssc 610 $afoodborne diseases 610 $agiardiasis 610 $aherbal drugs 610 $aethnobotany 610 $atoxoplasmosis 610 $asrophularia buergeriana 610 $acognitive impairment 610 $aamyloid beta 610 $atau phosphorylation 610 $aoxidative stress 610 $aanti-apoptotic 610 $aTerminalia chebula fruit 610 $aosteoarthritis 610 $aAyuFlex® 610 $acartilage collapse 610 $aMMPs 610 $ainflammation response 610 $avascular inflammation 610 $aliensinine 610 $aVSMC 610 $amacrophage 610 $aproliferation 610 $amigration 610 $aNigella sativa 610 $amethicillin-resistant 610 $aStaphylococcus aureus 610 $asynergism 610 $abeta-lactam 610 $aantibiotics 610 $aartichoke by-products 610 $aphenolic compounds 610 $aHPLC-ESI-TOF-MS 610 $aPLE 610 $aGRAS 610 $aScrophularia buergeriana 610 $aanti-amnesic effect 610 $acholinergic neurotransmission 610 $aanti-oxidant 610 $aanti-inflammation 610 $aVepris macropylla 610 $aessential oil 610 $acitral 610 $aantiproliferative activity 610 $afluorescence and scanning electron microscopy 610 $ahuman breast cancer cell line 610 $aVaccinium species 610 $aphytochemicals 610 $aberry 610 $aleaf 610 $aanti-inflammatory pathways 610 $aendothelial dysfunction 610 $anatural products 610 $abioactive compounds 610 $amedicinal plants 610 $abioactivity 610 $amechanism of action 610 $atraditional medicines 615 7$aMedicine 700 $aDevkota$b Hari Prasad$4edt$01290184 702 $aDevkota$b Hari Prasad$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557350303321 996 $aPlant-Based Bioactive Natural Products: Insights into Molecular Mechanisms of Action$93021399 997 $aUNINA
