Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit your research work results or review articles to our latest Special Issue. We especially encourage authors who work with novel approaches in the search for active small compounds in drug discovery and development. Authors can submit their works regarding both synthetic or natural compounds, with potential applications in multiple fields including cancer, microbiology, immunology and many other areas.
This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of the current findings regarding novel approaches in the search for active compounds with potential applications as novel drug candidates or adjuvants. In particular, we welcome research articles comprising aspects related to the synthesis, biological evaluation, and physico-chemistry of potential drug hits or the development of new methods in the drug discovery and development field.
In this Special Issue, both original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following topics: bioorganic chemistry, organic synthesis, biosynthesis, multidrug resistance, ADMETox aspects, novel compounds, drug candidates, and pharmaceutical biotechnology. Additionally, we are eager to publish studies with use in expounding the synthesis of future drug candidates or adjuvants in the fight against multidrug-resistant conditions, as well as works regarding the use of non-usual elements in organic compounds, such as transition metals and rare earth elements or heavy semimetals like selenium, tellurium, arsenic and iodine.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Pharmaceutics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
