Discovery and Function Research of Novel Natural Products

Natural products play crucial roles in the design, discovery, and development of new drugs to treat various disorders due to their diverse structures and bioactivity. In recent years, natural products have made many new discoveries in anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-aging, antitumor, treatment or relief of metabolic diseases.

Various medicinal plants, microorganisms, and other medicinal materials have always been a treasure trove of natural products. There is an urgent need for researchers to explore new compounds with potential biological activity from them. This topic aims to obtain research papers on the isolation, structural identification, or biosynthesis of new compounds from nature, as well as their activities in anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, aging, and therapeutic or alleviating metabolic diseases.

Research Topics may include, but are not limited to:

• Isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical synthesis of novel compounds from microbial fermentation and plant tissue culture
• Isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical synthesis of novel compounds from plants and marine
• Pharmacology of compounds of natural origin
