Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plants and microbes have always been an invaluable source of natural bioactive compounds, and research on natural products has highlighted their interesting roles in several aspects of both human physiology and pathology, paving the way for notable improvements in public health.
An increasing number of studies show that oxidative stress and chronic inflammatory processes participate in the pathogenesis of various metabolic diseases. Indeed, these processes are able to induce a metabolic rewiring, which in turn leads to metabolic disorders, such as dyslipidemia, diabetes or cancer.
In this scenario, the research of natural products plays an important role, providing new tools in the control of these pathological processes. The main aim of this Special Issue is to extend our knowledge on the biological complexity of the aforementioned processes and the potential applications and efficacy of natural extracts and isolated compounds of plant or microbial origin for their prevention and treatment.
Original research articles and reviews detailing the identification and characterization of new natural bioactive compounds that are useful in the control of inflammation, oxidative stress and metabolic diseases are welcome, as well as articles describing new biological properties and molecular mechanisms of natural extracts and known natural compounds.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
