Marine Natural Compounds and Their Synthetic Analogues: Exploring Pharmacological and Biotechnological Applications

Dear Colleagues,                

We are delighted to introduce the upcoming Special Issue of Marine Drugs titled "Marine Natural Compounds and Their Synthetic Analogues: Exploring Pharmacological and Biotechnological Applications." This Special Issue is poised to unravel the vast potential of marine-derived compounds and their synthetic counterparts, with a primary focus on their promising applications in pharmacology and biotechnology.

 

Our goal is to provide a platform for researchers to showcase their latest findings, methodologies, and insights in this rapidly evolving field. We invite contributions that delve into the discovery, synthesis, characterization, and pharmacological evaluation of marine natural compounds and their analogues. By fostering discussions and collaborations, we aim to further our understanding of these compounds and their potential contributions to the development of novel drugs and biotechnological solutions.

 

We look forward to your valuable submissions, which will undoubtedly enrich the scientific knowledge on marine natural compounds and their applications.
