Journal of Phytomolecules & Pharmacology
The Journal of
Phytomolecules & Pharmacology (JPP) is a peer-reviewed international journal
that brings out original research papers, reviews and short communications on
the natural product & derivatives, phytoconstituents, biological &
pharmacological investigations of the extracts and products.
The journal
specifically invites interdisciplinary articles on phytochemistry,
biotechnological approach for phytomedicines, biological and toxicological
mechanisms of action, structure and bioactivity of phytochemicals
(bioinformatics/ computational methods).
Moreover, JPP emphasizes the fascinating insights of
ethnic medicines involved in tribal communities. Therefore, we particularly
prefer scientific investigations on either pharmacological or phytochemical
aspects of the medicinal, aromatic, economical plants and other related botanically
species, fungi as well as organisms. Manuscripts dealing with significant new
findings on the plant's phytochemistry and pharmacological experiment for drug
discovery will be considered.
The journal
operates a double-blind peer review policy. All articles will be made freely
and permanently available in online. Articles are published as “Just Accepted
Articles” as soon as possible after acceptance and in 2 issues of a volume per
year.
