New Advances in Transition Metal Complexes

Dear Colleagues,

Recent trends in nano-formulations with different biological activities based on the efficacy of active compounds such as novel synthesized mixed ligands with drugs, some flavonoid complexes, amino acids and some nutritional pharmacological formulas within them are among the most highly studied fields in the biological sciences. Driven by the current knowledge on the biological efficacy of active compounds, the need to maintain the structural integrity and reliability of materials and a renewed desire to improve the durability of new nanostructured and novel nutritional formulas with potent antioxidant capacities have seen a huge demand for experimental and modeling activities.

Extensive studies have been performed on the different protective and antioxidant activities of many active compounds against oxidative stress and diseases, and studies have yielded great benefits from conducting chemical characterization and spectroscopic analysis, in addition to studying the activities of antibiotic metal–drug complexes and flavonoid–metal–drug complexes against different toxicities.

The scope of this Special Issue will serve as a forum for papers on the following topics:

• Experimental and physiological research with new ideas about the protective effects of different metal–drug complexes.
• Anti-cancer activities of nanoformulations, novel complexes and natural extracts.
• Understanding the complete spectroscopic characterization of different nanoformulas and their biological activities.
• The latest pharmacological actions of anti-diabetic drugs and different drug complexes.
• Recent developments in the quantitative and qualitative activities of vitamins and different active compounds.
• Pharmacological and biological actions of metal–drug complexes with antibiotics and flavonoids.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
