Journal of Natural Products

The Journal of Natural Products invites and publishes papers that make substantial and scholarly contributions to the area of natural products research. Contributions may relate to the chemistry and/or biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds or the biology of living systems from which they are obtained. When new compounds are reported, manuscripts describing their biological activity are much preferred. Topics may include, but are not limited to: Secondary metabolites of microorganisms, including antibiotics and mycotoxins Physiologically active compounds from terrestrial and marine plants and animals Biochemical studies, including biosynthesis and microbiological transformations Fermentation and plant tissue culture Isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical synthesis of novel compounds from nature Pharmacology of compounds of natural origin Manuscripts that focus on biological properties of chemically complex extracts, mixtures, or essential oils are outside the scope of the journal.
