Innovative Extraction Technology Aiming the Screening and Discovery of Bio-Active Marine Compounds

Dear Colleagues,

The Marine environment is a prolific source of potentially high-quality molecules that represent useful leads in the development of new nutraceutical agents. This Special Issue will cover all methodologies used in the search of marine natural products: screening of marine biota, isolation of high value molecules with pharmacological and food potential, discovery of new molecules, and the optimization of extraction procedures of these molecules, such as supercritical fluid extraction, pressurized solvent extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, enzyme-assisted extraction, and other alternative techniques applied in the exploration for marine compounds.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Marine Drugs is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
