Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
The discovery of new drugs and their biomedical applications remains one of the most fascinating subjects in the competitive research world. As such, conducting innovative research in this field presents numerous challenges. Given the significance, broad scope, wide applicability and uses of drugs and drug candidates, Encyclopedia is pleased to announce a Topical Collection dedicated to this topic.
This Topical Collection will focus on a wide range of compelling topics on drug discovery-related research. Advancing this field requires diverse expertise and in-depth knowledge on specific subject areas related to medicine. Innovative research on medicinally active substances may integrate multiple disciplines or focus on a single key question. Topics related to chemistry, biology, pharmacy, and clinical science are central to this Issue. In short, publications in this Topical Collection may focus on the following: synthesis, chemical modifications, natural products, structure–activity relationships, mechanisms of action, and preclinical and clinical results on molecules. Papers involving innovative procedures used in drug discovery research (such as microwave, ultrasound, solid-phase, combinatorial, ionic liquid, nanotechnology, photochemical, computational, asymmetric, and biocatalytic methods) can be included in this Issue.

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 collection 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. Encyclopedia is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
