Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Heterocyclic compounds, also called heterocycles, are part of a major class of organic chemical compounds characterized by the fact that some or all of the atoms in their molecules are joined in rings containing at least one atom of an element other than carbon (C). Organometallic chemistry plays an important role in modern approaches for the synthesis of heterocycles. Heterocyclic compounds include many of the biochemical materials that are essential to life. Modern society is dependent on synthetic heterocycles for use as drugs with anticancer agents and antibiotics.
This Special Issue of Molecules welcomes submissions of research articles and reviews that concern the design, synthesis and docking studies of new families with potential antitumor and/or antimicrobial activity.

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.
