Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine environments are diverse and extreme, fostering the unique adaptation of marine organisms. These marine organisms produce novel chemical structures which are not found in terrestrial organisms. Marine natural products have displayed structural diversity, leading to a discovery of new classes of drug candidates with unique biological activities.
In recent years, biotechnological advancements enable the diverse exploration of marine environments and comprehensive analysis combined with metabolites and genome data. Our object is to focus on a discovery of structurally and biologically novel compounds in marine organisms and its potential on drug development. As the Guest Editor of this Special Issue, I invite scientists from all over the world to submit reviews and original and conceptual research articles highlighting structural diversity in marine natural products and its application.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Marine Drugs is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2900 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.
