Natural Product Reports

A critical review journal which stimulates progress in all areas of natural products research.



NPR synthesis theme issue now online


27 March 2008

The latest themed issue of NPR is now available online. Guest edited by former Editorial Board Chair David O'Hagan (University of St Andrews), the issue brings together eight reviews which showcase leading work in natural product synthesis. 

Written by leading scientists in the field, these articles set out not only to highlight some of the increasingly complex and diverse molecules that researchers are now able to synthesise, but also how synthesis can play a key role in furthering our understanding of biological processes.
