Graphical Abstract

It is always a difficult task for a jury to classify articles from a selection of outstanding manuscripts. This was the case again this year when we had to award a prize to three contributions only, whereas we read so many interesting and exciting results published in 2012 and 2013. Anyway, the members of the jury did their job and have the pleasure to announce that the three following publications won the Pharmaceuticals Best Paper Award for 2015.
  • 1st Prize
    Ivana Cacciatore, Erika Fornasari, Leonardo Baldassarre, Catia Cornacchia, Stefania Fulle, Ester Sara Di Filippo, Tiziana Pietrangelo and Francesco Pinnen
    A Potent (R)-alpha-bis-lipoyl Derivative Containing 8-Hydroxyquinoline Scaffold: Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Its Neuroprotective Capabilities in SH-SY5Y Human Neuroblastoma Cells
    Pharmaceuticals 2013, 6(1), 54-69; doi:10.3390/ph6010054
  • 2nd Prize
    Albert J. Chang, Ravindra DeSilva, Sandeep Jain, Kimberley Lears, Buck Rogers and Suzanne Lapi
    89Zr-Radiolabeled Trastuzumab Imaging in Orthotopic and Metastatic Breast Tumors
    Pharmaceuticals 2012, 5(1), 79-93; doi:10.3390/ph5010079
  • 3rd Prize
    Luiza I. Hernandez, Katie S. Flenker, Frank J. Hernandez, Aloysius J. Klingelhutz, James O. McNamara and Paloma H. Giangrande
    Methods for Evaluating Cell-Specific, Cell-Internalizing RNA Aptamers
    Pharmaceuticals 2013, 6(3), 295-319; doi:10.3390/ph6030295
The Prize Awarding Committee describes the article “A Potent (R)-alpha-bis-lipoyl Derivative Containing 8-Hydroxyquinoline Scaffold: Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Its Neuroprotective Capabilities in SH-SY5Y Human Neuroblastoma Cells” as “An interesting preclinical approach, newly combining antioxidant/metal-chealting (in neuroprotective) molecules for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as PD or AD”.
We believe these three papers represent valuable contributions to Pharmaceuticals and the scientific literature. On behalf of the Prize Awarding Committee and the Editorial Board of Pharmaceuticals, we warmly congratulate these three groups. In recognition of their accomplishment, Dr. Ivana Cacciatore, Dr. Suzanne Lapi, and Dr. Paloma H. Giangrande will have the opportunity of publishing an additional Open Access format review or research paper, free of charge, in our Journal, Pharmaceuticals.
