NATURAL PRODUCT REPORTS

Natural Product Reports is a bimonthly journal of critical reviews. It aims to stimulate progress in the study of natural products bioorganic chemistry and chemical biology by providing regular and comprehensive reviews of the relevant literature published during well-defined periods. Topics include the isolation, structure, biosynthesis, biological activity, and chemistry of the major groups of natural products - alkaloids, terpenoids and steroids, aliphatic, aromatic and O-heterocyclic compounds, and other metabolites of marine, plant and microbial origins. This coverage is augmented by frequent reviews of the wider context of bioorganic chemistry, including developments in enzymology, nucleic acids, genetics, chemical ecology, primary and secondary metabolism, and isolation and analytical techniques, which will be of general interest to all workers in the area. Occasional articles by eminent scientists provide an important historical perspective describing major developments from the personal viewpoint of those involved.

《自然产品报告》是一本双月期的评论期刊。它旨在通过定期和全面地审查在明确时期出版的相关文献，促进天然产物生物有机化学和化学生物学的研究进展。主题包括主要天然产物群的分离、结构、生物合成、生物活性和化学——生物碱、萜类和类固醇、脂肪族、芳香族和O-杂环化合物以及海洋、植物和微生物起源的其他代谢产物。这方面的报道得到了广泛的生物有机化学背景的频繁审查，包括酶学、核酸、遗传学、化学生态学、一级和二级代谢以及分离和分析技术的发展，这将是该领域所有工人普遍感兴趣的。杰出科学家偶尔发表的文章提供了一个重要的历史视角，从相关人员的个人观点来描述重大进展。
