Integrated In-Vitro and In-Silico Approaches in Natural Product Research: From Phytochemistry to Antimicrobial Discovery, Computational Modeling, and Green Nanobiotechnology

The escalating global burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) necessitates innovative strategies for discovering effective therapeutic agents from natural sources. This thematic issue focuses on the integrated evaluation of natural products—including plant extracts, essential oils, marine-derived metabolites, and environmental microbial isolates—using both in-vitro and in-silico approaches. Contributions emphasizing antimicrobial screening, antibiofilm activity, time-kill kinetics, mechanism-based assays, and green synthesis of nanoparticles are encouraged. Additionally, computational studies involving molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, binding free energy analysis,... see more

Next-Generation Natural Antimicrobials: Innovative Strategies to Combat Microbial Resistance

The rapid emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) highlights the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. This thematic issue focuses on the discovery, optimization, and advanced formulation of natural products and bio-inspired molecules to overcome microbial resistance. It will explore state-of-the-art approaches including omics-guided discovery, synthetic biology, and encapsulation technologies designed to enhance the stability, solubility, and targeted delivery of natural antimicrobials. Emphasis will also be placed on microbiome-derived metabolites, synergistic combinations with antibiotics, and eco-friendly... see more
