This Section of Marine Drugs focuses on novel articles and reviews reporting on the isolation, structure elucidation and bioactivity assays of natural products from the marine resources, including marine-derived macro- and microorganisms as well as marine plants (e.g., algae, seagrasses, phytoplankt...

Oceans cover roughly 70% of our planet and harbor extraordinary chemical and biological diversity that remains largely untapped for therapeutic discovery. Marine organisms produce structurally unique secondary metabolites, many with no terrestrial counterparts, which engage human disease targets in ...

This section of Marine Drugs aims to provide a comprehensive and advanced publication platform for chemical and/or pharmacological studies on marine-derived toxins. Scope Marine toxins inspiring new drugs Venoms from marine animals Toxins from marine plants Toxins from marine invertebrates T...

This Section, “Biomaterials of Marine Origin”, of Marine Drugs aims to provide a platform for the rapid publication of works concerning marine-derived biomaterials and their applications in medical or related fields. Scope Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Marine-der...

This Section of Marine Drugs is open to receiving papers that report the application of advanced technologies to living organisms from marine resources in drug discovery and production. Scope Conservation of marine resources and ecosystems in the sustainable exploration and production of marine ...

This section of Marine Drugs welcomes marine chemoecological studies with strong relevance to marine natural product and drug discovery. Scope: Chemical ecology of marine organisms and marine drug discovery Chemical interactions between marine organisms and their environment Marine microbial i...

This Section of Marine Drugs is open to receiving papers reporting research about the marine-derived ingredients and bio-products as cosmeceuticals, nutraceuticals, functional foods, and nutritional supplements. Scope Marine-derived ingredients used in cosmetic products Marine-derived ingredien...

Marine natural products are generally isolated in small amounts, which are often inadequate for extensive drug screening and, sometimes, even for their full structure characterization Moreover, unaltered natural molecules may possess suboptimal pharmacological properties and thus, in order to succes...
