Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Alkaloids are a class of natural products widely distributed in nature which bear diverse structures and biological functions. They are one of the most important sources of new drugs. Alkaloid chemistry is an important research direction in the field of natural products and medicinal chemistry. The main aim of this Special Issue on “Alkaloids in Medicinal Chemistry” is to collect contributions, both in the form of original research and review articles, to cover studies concerning the identification of alkaloids and synthetic bioactive derivatives with relevant biological activities.
