Cover Feature: Nanoenabled Phytochemical Mining: Gold Nanoparticle‐Mediated Recovery of Low‐Polar Secondary Metabolites From Plant Extract (Small Struct. 4/2026)
Nanoenabled Phytochemical Mining The cover illustrates a nano-enabled strategy for phytochemical extraction in St. John’s wort, an important medicinal plant widely used for various ailments. Green-synthesized gold nanoparticles adsorb low-polarity secondary metabolites from St. John’s wort extract. Structure-specific interactions govern the enrichment of compounds on the nanoparticle surface, offering an efficient approach for the sustainable isolation of bioactive natural products using nanotechnology.
