Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ocean is increasingly recognized as a significant source of natural compounds. Terpenes have garnered significant attention due to their widespread occurrence in marine organisms and their diverse biological activities.
This Special Issue will comprehensively present the latest discoveries and progress of marine terpenes, focusing on the discovery of terpenes, their chemical structures, biological activities, and therapeutic potential, as well as the synthesis and biosynthetic research of important terpenes.
Studies on the isolation, structural elucidation, and biosynthetic pathways of marine terpenes, as well as the synthetic strategies for terpenes are encouraged to be submitted. We also welcome contributions that focus on the anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and other biological activities of marine terpenes, as well as their potential use in drug discovery and development.
For this Special Issue, we invite academic and industry scientists to submit reviews and original and conceptual research articles highlighting the advancements of known or novel marine terpenes.
