Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, the alarming and rapid spread of multidrug resistance bacteria makes developing a new antibiotic one of the most important topics in the drug discovery pipeline. Several naturally occurring substances and synthetic compounds are explored and studied to find new and effective antimicrobial agents.
The aim of this Special Issue is to extend the knowledge about new antibiotics. Studies showing new compounds, promising starting structures, and modifications to currently approved antibiotics are highly desirable. Furthermore, in silico modeling and quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) research met the area of interest.
Studies on assessing pharmacokinetics properties, including ADME profiling, are also welcome.
This Special Issue invites researchers interested in the design, discovery, and development of new antibiotic agents.
