Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Phenolic acids are naturally occurring compounds that have attracted emerging interest due to their versatile properties. Indeed, phenolic acids have appeared with promising features in green chemical synthesis, medicine, pharmacy, cosmetics, and industry. More recently, their application in nanomedicine has also conquered space among the scientific and academic community. Advantageously phenolic acids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS), which is of paramount importance in the health and food sectors. Moreover, phenolic acids are promising tools for producing new formulations or drug repurposing functions considering a safety- and sustainable-by-design method centered on eco-friendly approaches. This Special Issue aims to compile the most recent advances in the application of phenolic acids from chemistry-, pharmacy-, biopharma-, and medicine-based approach, with a particular focus on their encouraging applications in new drug formulations and nanomedicine. Therefore, we cordially invite researchers to disclose original research work or review manuscripts that present up-to-date data on the use of phenolic acids for the prevention and management of human health.

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. Pharmaceutics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
