The biosynthetic potential of marine organisms has garnered increasing interest worldwide. In recent years, remarkable achievements have been made regarding the discovery of marine natural products (MNPs) with therapeutic potential. The 16th National Annual Conference and 2023 International Symposium on Marine Drugs (16-NASMD) aim to provide a high-level international forum for scientists to present their new advances and research results regarding the discovery of MNPs. The 16-NASMD is sponsored by the Professional Committee of Marine Drugs of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, organized by the Institute of Marine Drugs, the Zhejiang University of Technology, and held in Hangzhou, China, on 10th-12th November 2023. This joint Special Issue will focus on bioactive natural products from the marine environment, including the following aspects:1. The discovery, identification, and biological evaluation of new MNPs; 2. New strategies for the discovery of new and bioactive MNPs; 3. The biosynthesis, total synthesis, and structural modification of bioactive MNPs; 4. Molecular or pharmacological mechanisms of bioactive MNPs. Please note that registration for the 16-NASMD is required for acceptance.
