Abstract
While natural products have undoubtedly played a pivotal role in drug discovery, their potential as lead compounds has been hindered by challenges such as limited accessibility and complex synthesis processes. At the core of numerous natural and synthetic compounds, each exhibiting remarkable biological traits, lies the foundational structure of 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone, also known as 2-oxo-tetrahydroquinoline (2 O-THQ). This article extensively examines the occurrence of 2 O-THQ alkaloids across the plant kingdom, exploring their capacity to serve as a source for innovative bioactive natural products. Despite the undeniable significance of these compounds, the existing body of review literature has yet to provide comprehensive coverage, underscoring the pivotal contribution of this present article in investigating their prevalence in nature.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Natural Product Research is to publish important contributions in the field of natural product chemistry. The journal covers all aspects of research in the chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds.
The communications include coverage of work on natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals. Discussions of structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural products as well as developments of methods in these areas are welcomed in the journal. Finally, research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary, eg. fermentation chemistry, plant tissue culture investigations etc., are accepted into the journal.
Natural Product Research issues will be subtitled either ""Part A - Synthesis and Structure"" or ""Part B - Bioactive Natural Products"". for details on this , see the forthcoming articles section.
All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
