Marine Drugs (ISSN 1660-3397) publishes peer-reviewed research papers, short notes, and reviews reporting on the discovery, development, exploitation, and production of biologically and therapeutically active compounds from marine habitats. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their research in as much detail as possible; therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the manuscript.Subject areas include:Identification of bioactive compounds from marine microorganisms, invertebrates, fishes, and plants (e.g. algae, seagrasses, mangroves)Pharmacological characterization of marine compounds or their derivativesMarine natural products with activity against human, animal and plant diseasesMarine natural products with insecticidal or herbicidal activitiesSynthesis, mutasynthesis and medicinal chemistry of marine natural productsMarine proteomics, glycomics, and lipidomics related to drug discovery or bioactivityMarine drug development, including pharmaceutical formulation and clinical trialsMarine chemical ecology research inspiring marine drug discoveryInnovative sampling and isolation techniques targeting bioactive marine natural productsMarine biotechnology and molecular biology studies related to drug discovery or productionStructural and biological characterization of marine toxinsBiomaterials of marine originMarine-derived ingredients for cosmeceuticals, nutraceuticals, marine-derived functional foods and nutritional supplements
