Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Marine Drugs entitled “Synthesis of Marine Natural Products” will discuss the chemistry involved in the synthesis of biologically active marine compounds such as fatty acids, amino acids, polyamines, or phenol derivatives, and why marine animals and plants elaborate any distinct kinds of molecules. The structure–activity relationships of these marine molecules will be also examined in order to demonstrate the wide interest of chemists in mimicking Nature. Finally, this Issue is intended for chemists with an interest in the marine environment as well as oceanographers, marine biologists, marine scientists, and pharmacologists.
Dr. Jean Michel Brunel
Guest Editor
