Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We hope that this letter finds you well. On behalf of the editorial team at Marine Drugs, I am pleased to invite you to contribute to our Special Issue, titled "Marine Natural Products for Neglected Tropical Diseases".
Our aim for this Special Issue is to bring together innovative research and thought leadership on new hit-to-lead compounds from marine environments for neglected diseases, with a focus on antiparasitics, antimicrobials, antifungals, and antivirals. We are particularly interested in original articles and reviews that address key questions, challenges, and advancements in the rapidly evolving area of the natural product chemistry of marine substances.
We believe that your expertise would be an invaluable addition to this issue. Your research aligns closely with the objectives of the Special Issue, and we would be honored to consider your work for publication.
