The Pharmaceuticals Editorial Office retracts the article “Design and Synthesis of Novel 5-((3-(Trifluoromethyl)piperidin-1-yl)sulfonyl)indoline-2,3-dione Derivatives as Promising Antiviral Agents: In Vitro, In Silico, and Structure–Activity Relationship Studies” [1] cited above.
Following publication, concerns were raised by the publisher regarding the validity of the data published in this article [1].
Adhering to our complaints procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and Editorial Board, which included a review of the raw data presented within this publication. While the authors fully cooperated with the investigation, they were unable to satisfactorily address a number of significant errors and anomalies found in the NMR and IR data. As a result, the Editorial Office and Editorial Board were unable to confirm the reliability of the findings and subsequently decided to retract the paper as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30, accessed on 25 October 2024) and in line with the Committee on Publication Ethics retraction guidelines (https://publicationethics.org/retraction-guidelines, accessed on 25 October 2024).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Pharmaceuticals.
The authors did not agree to this retraction.
