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.
