Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development and preparation of bioactive compounds continues to attract tremendous interest, motivated by the many and varied illnesses that affect the health of humankind. The appearance of new diseases, still incurable disorders, drug resistance and improvement of patient treatments are some factors that provoke the search of new bioactive compounds, with many new factors arising in a very short timeframe. In addition, more recently, special efforts are seeking to update old methodologies to achieve such interesting compounds in the most sustainable manner. Awareness of the environmental impact has triggered the development of synthetic procedures for known and new biologically active compounds taking into consideration the principles of green chemistry such as catalyst employment, energy efficiency, use of safer solvents, safer chemicals and utilization of renewable feedstocks.
The Special Issue “Recent Organic Synthesis to Bioactive Compounds” aims to present the most recent achievements in the organic synthesis of bioactive compounds along with recent advances in synthetic methodologies that afford bioactive compounds in an improved and sustainable manner. The manuscripts together with the review papers will summarize the recent advances in the field.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
