Synthesis and Structural Modification of Marine Natural Products

Synthesis and Structural Modification of Marine Natural Products.

In the last decades, marine natural products (MNPs), have attracted extensive interest from both chemists and pharmacologists due to their chemical and bioactive diversities. This special issue, collecting total synthesis and structural modification of six different type of bioactive MNPs, is expected to inspire and attract more research effects invested into MNP research.

Studies for the synthesis of marine natural products.

The process of allylic transposition in S(E)' reactions is a significant construct for synthesis. The flexibility of a variety of allylation strategies provides for the rational design of pathways to a diverse array of complex targets. Our recent studies of S(E)' reactions will examine issues of stereoselectivity and efficiency in the context of applications toward the synthesis of marine natur...

Bioactive marine natural products

Bioactive marine natural products can be defined as biologically active products, both secondary metabolites as well as enzymes, lipids and heteropolysaccharides derived from marine sources. Marine natural products have been found to be an important source of drugs and drug leads. These natural products are secondary metabolites and enhance survival fitness and may serve as chemical weapons use...
