Marine and Terrestrial Sources of Natural Products: Chemical Composition Profiling, Isolation and Characterization

Dear Colleagues,

Natural molecules produced by terrestrial sources have important roles in the development of new drugs. Marine and/or halophytes have attracted attention as a result of their unique ability to produce bioactive secondary metabolites. Halophytes, in particular, are considered important sources of secondary metabolites due to their tolerance to saline environments. This Special Issue invites authors to submit original research article contributions related to the isolation, purification, and characterization of new natural bioactive molecules from marine and terrestrial origins, including halophytes. Reviews that make substantial advances within this field are also invited to contribute to this editorial project.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
