Covering: January to the end of December 2024This review covers the literature published in 2024 for marine natural products (MNPs), with 617 citations (578 for the period January to December 2024) referring to compounds isolated from marine microorganisms and phytoplankton, green, brown and red algae, sponges, cnidarians, bryozoans, molluscs, tunicates, echinoderms, the submerged parts of mangroves and other intertidal plants. The emphasis is on new compounds (1256 in 336 papers for 2024), together with the relevant biological activities, source organisms and country of origin. Pertinent reviews, biosynthetic studies, first syntheses, and syntheses that led to the revision of structures or stereochemistries, have been included. An analysis of the role of artificial intelligence in marine natural products research is discussed.
