Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Natural Products focuses on the isolation, structure elucidation, and biological evaluation of chemical compounds derived from natural sources, including marine organisms, fungi, bacteria, and plants. Research involves detailed spectroscopic and crystallographic analyses to determine chemical structures, often leading to the discovery of novel compounds and scaffolds. Investigations also explore the bioactivity of these natural products, such as antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, cytotoxic, and immunosuppressive properties, with a view towards potential applications in drug discovery and development.
