Cover Story: Research on bioactive natural products aims to both protect against dangerous biotoxicity and promote pharmacological innovation in drug discovery. Optical biosensors are characterized by high sensitivity, specificity, and rapid and cost-effective responses that meet environmental and health protection requirements. Of particular interest is the application of innovative optical biosensors to monitor aquatic biotoxins in the context of increasing harmful algal blooms. Simultaneously, technological advances in these analytical devices are helping to identify bioactive compounds of clinical interest. This article reviews advances in optical biosensors designed to improve the detection of aquatic biotoxins and accelerate the screening of novel natural products with biomedical applications.
