Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural products have historically served as vital sources for the discovery of therapeutic agents, and about half of clinically used drugs today are derived from natural products. In Asian region, vast and diverse natural organisms from territory and marine attract the interest of scientists for the discovery of drug leads and application for clinic remedy. As a forum for the exchange of research findings and innovative ideas on the natural product related field, we launched a Special Issue entitled “Natural Products Chemistry in Asia”.
This Special Issue mainly focus on the natural product discovery and methodology, analytical chemistry, organic synthesis and derivatization, biosynthesis and enzyme-mediated derivatization, bioactivity and mode of action, chemoecology, and relevant topics. Both original research articles and comprehensive review papers are welcome.
