Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural products represent a huge source of chemicals with a wide set of uses in drug discovery. Indeed, they emerged as a good starting point due to their interaction with different enzymes/receptors. In this context, not only polyphenols but also other classes of secondary metabolites showed themselves to be promising anti-inflammatory/anti-oxidant agents, fostering the development of new or repurposed pharmacological tools in both academia and industry. This was also spurred by the use of computational methods, which predict biochemical interactions that can be then confirmed in in vitro/ex vivo/in vivo studies.
In this Special Issue, we welcome review articles and original articles from chemical and biological point of views, ranging from drug discovery to biological/pharmacological studies and from virtual screening to fully integrated biochemical/pharmacological studies, in order to understand the full potential of natural products in drug research.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
