About the Journal
The "REVISTA PRODUCTOS NATURALES" (ISSN 1916-2413) is an electronic publishing, of specialized scientific spreading of free access, that invites and publishes articles of fundamental and applied research with substantial contributions in science, technology, and industry of natural products from plant, animal or microbial origin, as much terrestrial as marine organisms. It is free Open Access Journal, edited on Open Journal System, located at Nozomi Science website, which was created as an academic nonprofit portal, with the mission of hosting open access electronic publications dedicated to the divulgation of results from scientific research, technological developments and innovations in knowledge areas related to natural products.
Aims and Scope
"Revista Productos Naturales" aims to publish high-quality research articles, reviews, and short communications in the field of natural products. The journal covers a wide range of topics including the discovery, characterization, and biological evaluation of natural products, as well as their synthesis and applications. The scope of the journal includes but is not limited to:
- Phytochemistry
- Pharmacognosy
- Ethnopharmacology
- Natural product chemistry
- Biotechnology of natural products
- Biological activities of natural products
The publication pretends to close the links between the scientific research performed at centers of academic formation and the technological and industrial development appropriated by the productive chains. This integration will include from the plant species suppliers, microorganisms or animals as row materials to the manufacturers of pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic and agrochemical products, as well as the designers of equipments and machineries for the industries based on biodiversity.
The contributions can be typified in some of the following greater categories related to the specialized metabolites:
a) Analytical methods, methods of bioassay, quality control and quality assurance.
b) Ethnobotany, ethnopharmacology and ethnoveterinary c) Chemotaxonomy d) Phytohemistry, Pharmacognosy and Medicinal Chemistry
e) Ecological chemistry and allelopathy
f) Pharmaceutical, cosmetic, nutraceutical and agrochemical products based on biodiversity
g) Biosynthesis, biotechnology and molecular Biology
h) Chemistry and biochemistry combined with biological, sensorial, nutritional and toxicological evaluations.
i) Physical and chemical changes induced by the processing or storage
j) Security and Toxicology
k) Metabolomics
When new compounds are reported, it is preferred that the manuscripts also describe their biological activity.
