Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Molecules will be publishing a Special Issue on “Bioactive Small Molecules: Design, Synthesis, and Applications”, with Xun Li serving as Guest Editor.

Contributions to the identification of effective bioactive small molecules, which are derived from either drug design strategies or a computer-aided approach or combinations thereof, are welcome. Both research papers and reviews are considered. Submissions to the Special Issue must generally adhere to the Author Guidelines of Molecules. Exceptions can occasionally be made if findings of outstanding significance for medicinal chemistry and drug discovery are presented. The deadline for submissions to the Special Issue is 31 December 2022.

We look forward to receiving many first-class contributions advancing the field.

Prof. Dr. Xun Li
Guest Editor
