Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine natural products (MNPs) represent a vast and largely untapped source of bioactive compounds with potential applications in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and biotechnology. This Special Issue of the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering aims to showcase the latest research and advancements in the extraction, characterisation, and utilisation of MNPs. This Special Issue will cover a range of topics, including the discovery of new marine natural products (MNPs) from diverse marine organisms and habitats, the development of innovative extraction and purification techniques, the elucidation of biochemical pathways, and the evaluation of ecological significance. Contributions are encouraged to explore the potential therapeutic applications of MNPs, as well as sustainable sourcing strategies to ensure the long-term availability of these valuable resources.
This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research in marine natural products, highlighting the latest discoveries, methodologies, and applications. This Specia Issue will be of interest to researchers, scientists, and professionals in the fields of marine biology, natural product chemistry, pharmacology, and biotechnology. The keywords provided encompass a wide range of topics pertinent to MNPs research, including the discovery of novel compounds, the development of innovative techniques, the elucidation of biochemical pathways, and the potential applications in various industries. The focus on sustainable sourcing strategies emphasises the significance of responsible resource management and the necessity to guarantee the long-term availability of MNPs for future generations.
