Phytochemicals have been present in human diet and life since the birth of mankind, including the consuming of plant foods and the application of herbal treatments. This coevolutionary interaction of plants and people has resulted in humans' reliance on food and medicinal plants as sources of macronutrients, micronutrients, and bioactive phytochemicals. Phytochemicals can be used as adjuvant agents and sensitizers in traditional antibiotic and anticancer therapy, reducing the potential of selecting resistant microbial strains and cancer cells. Recent Frontiers of Phytochemicals addresses the many processes of potential phytochemical evaluation of known sources, with a focus on phytochemical and pharmacological evaluations, and computational research into the structures and pharmacological mechanisms of natural products and their applications in medicine, food and biotech.

Oxetane Synthesis rings play an important role as versatile motifs both in the overall formation of natural products and in synthetic organic chemistry. Oxetanes are important motifs in pharmaceutical chemistry that can confer improved metabolic and physicochemical properties. These developments continue to enhance the use of oxetanes in medicinal chemistry. Thanks to the growing commercial accessibility of oxetane possessing building blocks, together with improved approaches for the formation, oxetanes are likely to be progressively utilized in medicinal chemistry programs. Oxetanes are becoming valuable as a result of their vast diversity of uses in medicinal chemistry and varying applications. Several procedures have been developed for the formation and ring-opening of oxetanes to give important compounds in agrochemical, medicinal and material sciences. Novel approaches have been developed for the synthesis of oxetanes. These methods depend on both established synthetic approaches and development of many novel approaches for the formation of oxetanes.
