Natural products have played important roles in drug discovery and development as more than 60% drugs are associated with natural products. It is the aim of this Research Topic to highlight some recent advances in natural products research. Yunnan University (YNU) located in Yunnan Province, China, the kingdom of plants, was founded in 1922 and officially opened in 1923. With this unique regional advantage, many interesting achievements in natural products have been made at YNU.
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of YNU, this Research Topic aims to highlight recent advances in natural products research. The goal is to collect the latest developments in Natural Product Chemistry from school fellows of YNU, as well as the researchers who work or are involved in the development of YNU. This would provide an opportunity to school fellows of YNU to introduce their recent research findings in natural product chemistry to the chemical community, which could also provide an incentive for further scientific collaborations between school fellows of YNU and other researchers in this field.
We invite researchers to share their Original Research, Review, Mini Review, and Perspective articles on the development of organic chemistry in this research topic. The research areas to be covered in this collection may include, but are not limited to:
• Isolation and structural characterization of novel natural products
• Total synthesis of natural products
• New synthetic approaches towards the key units of natural products
• Structure-activity-relationship (SAR) studies on bioactive natural-product-like molecules
• The inclusion complexation behavior of natural products with macrocyclic molecules
