Recent Advances on Natural Product Research

Dear Colleagues,

Natural product research has mainly dealt with extraction/isolation/structure elucidation, total synthesis, and biosynthesis in the classical sense. Recently, natural product research has spread across many fields including chemical biology, medicinal chemistry, analytical chemistry, and material sciences. All researchers working in this borderless field are cordially invited to contribute original research papers or reviews to this Special Issue of Molecules, which will report on natural product-related research including total synthesis, methodology, extraction/isolation/structure elucidation, structure–activity relationship, medicinal chemistry, biosynthesis, material sciences, analytical chemistry, and chemical biology. Work in any field related to natural products is welcome.
