Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue, “Novel Drugs and Natural Products Discovery ”.
The discovery of novel drugs and natural products remains a cornerstone of modern medicine and, as the global health landscape evolves, there is an urgent need for innovative therapeutic solutions to address emerging diseases, antibiotic resistance, and unmet medical needs. This Special Issue invites researchers to contribute original research, reviews, and perspectives on the latest advancements in drug discovery and natural product research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, drug repurposing, computational drug design, synthetic biology, natural product isolation and characterization, and preclinical and clinical evaluation of novel therapeutics. By sharing your groundbreaking work, you will contribute to advancing medical science and improving patients' lives worldwide.
