Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to this Special Issue on the Synthesis and Biological Activity of Novel Complexes.
In recent years, cancer has been a global scourge of modern society. Various organic compounds play a crucial role in the treatment of numerous metabolic disorders in addition to their extensive use as anti-inflammatory fenamates. They also have intriguing antibacterial, antiviral, and insecticidal capabilities, as well drug resistance in cancer cells. The transition metal complexes of, e.g., anthranilic acid derivatives, hydantoins, spirohydantoins, uracil derivatives or different organic compounds with biological activities, offer therapeutic implications in obesity and diabetes mellitus by regulating glucosidase, anticancer, antibacterial, and antioxidant activity or other biological propеrties. In particular, platinum complexes have been the focus of research since the discovery of the cancerostatica antitumor properties of cisplatin by Rosenberg. Pt(IV) complexes have attracted significant attention due to both their kinetic inertness and the resulting possibility of oral administration.
This Special Issue will focus on the synthesis, characterization, and investigation of antibacterial and antitumor activity and/or cytotoxicity, as well as the antiproliferative effect of new coordination compounds.
Distinguished researchers are encouraged to present their studies concerning coordination compounds with biomolecules and bioligands, novel metal complexes with potential biological activity (antibacterial, anticancer or cytotoxic properties), as well as new methods for synthesis.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit your research to this Special Issue, “Synthesis and Biological Activity of Novel Complexes for the journal Applied Sciences (ISSN 2076-3417, https://www.mdpi.com/journal/applsci).” Research articles, short communications and review papers are welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
