Application of Organic Synthesis to Bioactive Compounds II

Dear Colleagues,

As can be seen in today’s society, there is a need to use active substances to control the new illnesses that continually appear and challenge mankind with new situations that must be treated. In this respect, natural products are an inexhaustible source, not only of starting materials, but also of ideas for obtaining new compounds that could solve the problems originated by new biological agents. In this Special Issue titled “Application of Organic Synthesis to Bioactive Compounds II”, achievements in the synthesis of natural products and active compounds are presented. The gathered manuscripts together with review papers will summarize the state of the art of the synthesis of bioactive compounds. In this second part, not only the modern synthesis of biologically active natural and unnatural products will be considered, but the synthesis of compounds with special biological properties that have been obtained recently and that involve new organic methods for synthesis will also be addressed.
