Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heterocyclic compounds are extremely important in many areas of science, such as pharmacology, agrochemistry, and materials science, due to their diverse chemical and biological properties. For this reason, advanced research is focused on developing new synthetic methods to create innovative heterocyclic structures, studying their mechanisms of action, and exploring their potential applications. These studies can lead to the design of new drugs, the development of innovative materials, or a better understanding of their roles in biological systems. Therefore, in this Special Issue, research articles and reviews addressing these topics will be accepted, contributing to the advancement of knowledge in this dynamic and promising field.
