Molecular Pharmacology of Antidepressants

Dear Colleagues, 

Antidepressants include but are not limited to monoamine oxidase inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. The FDA approved esketamine for the treatment of drug-resistant depression. The molecular mechanisms of depression and the antidepressant effects of these drugs are still being intensively studied in order to modify them and improve therapeutic effects. In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit research results that shed new light on drugs already used in the pharmacotherapy of depression and new compounds. Molecular research on the basis of depression will also be welcome, in order to create a compendium of the latest research on depression and its pharmacotherapy.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
