Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Marine ecosystems are home to an extraordinary variety of organisms, producing bioactive compounds with unique chemical structures and potential applications in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics. This Special Issue, entitled “New Methods in Extraction and Isolation of Marine Natural Products”, focuses on advancing extraction and isolation techniques to better harness these bioresources. The aim is to explore innovative, sustainable methods that maximize yield and purity while minimizing environmental impact. Contributions will address cutting-edge approaches, such as green extraction technologies, high-efficiency isolation methods, and novel purification processes. By refining these methods, researchers can access bioactive compounds, driving discoveries that may lead to novel therapeutics and other beneficial products. We invite submissions that showcase experimental research, reviews, and technology advancements within this evolving field.
