Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The therapeutic potential of bioactive antioxidants depends critically on their structural specificity, synthetic accessibility, and demonstrated efficacy in biological systems.
Recent advances in this field focus on three key aspects—innovative synthetic strategies to design and optimize antioxidant molecules, advanced structural characterization techniques to elucidate their mechanisms of action, and the rigorous evaluation of their therapeutic potential in disease prevention and treatment.
We cordially invite researchers to submit original research articles and comprehensive reviews for this Special Issue, showcasing cutting-edge advances in bioactive antioxidant research. We welcome contributions covering various aspects, primarily focusing on the following: new synthetic or biosynthetic approaches to antioxidant production, the prediction of activity based on structure–activity relationships, state-of-the-art structural characterization methods, and mechanistic studies of therapeutic effects at the molecular and cellular level, as well as clinical and translational studies.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Jolanta Flieger
Guest Editor
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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Antioxidants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
