Natural products are biologically active compounds derived from living organisms, including plants, microorganisms, and marine sources, that have applications in medicine, nutrition, and biotechnology. Research published in this journal examines multiple dimensions of natural products, from their therapeutic potential to their industrial applications. Studies have investigated antimicrobial properties of medicinal plant extracts against fungal pathogens, cytotoxic effects of plant-derived compounds in cancer cells, and the potential of phytochemicals in antiviral applications. The journal has also addressed practical concerns in the natural products industry, including the identification of adulterants in dietary supplements marketed for health benefits. Significant attention has been given to the biotechnological applications of photosynthetic organisms, particularly algae and cyanobacteria, for uses spanning agriculture, medicine, and environmental management. Nutritional research has explored the composition of food-derived natural products, including cocoa derivatives and nutraceuticals, examining both beneficial components and antinutrient factors. This body of work reflects the growing importance of natural products as sources of bioactive molecules for drug discovery, functional foods, and sustainable biotechnological processes, while also highlighting quality control challenges in commercial natural product formulations.
