Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolism is a series of orderly chemical reactions that occur in organisms to maintain life. It is divided into primary metabolism and secondary metabolism, which plays an important role in the continuation of life. Many structure specific organic compounds are produced with metabolism. Among them, many compounds have unique structures and physiological activities. This Special Issue focuses on the structure, activity, structure–activity relationship, and mechanism of potential antitumor and anticancer compounds. Thus, it provides a certain theoretical basis for these compounds to become drugs.
