Featured Reviews in Natural Products Chemistry

Dear Colleagues,

Natural compounds from animal, microbial, vegetal, or fungi origin represent countless sources of new compounds that can be used as novel drugs if their activity, bioavailability, and toxicity are adequate.

The literature contains plenty of examples covering most of the more relevant diseases that have been treated using a plethora of chemical structures and extraction methods for compounds of natural origin. Furthermore, many actual drugs are based on natural compounds, pointing out the importance of natural compounds in novel drug discovery.

This Topical Collection aims to compile reviews covering the most recent advances in the use of natural compounds in any scientific fields, with special emphasis on metabolic disorders, cancer, antimicrobials development, and cosmetics. Reviews covering extractive methods or “omic” techniques are also welcome.
