Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the research community has witnessed significant advances in the design and synthesis of bioactive molecules, the discovery of novel natural product, total synthesis of natural product, development of synthetic methodology basing on synthesis of bioactive scaffolds. Accordingly, we hope to be able to summarize and display the latest developments in the synthesis strategies of active natural products and analogs, as well as their biological activities through the collection of this album, and provide new methods and template molecules for the subsequent development of innovative drug molecules.
