Bioactive Compounds and Their Anticancer Effects

Dear Colleagues,

Bioactive compounds are naturally occurring substances that have the ability to interact with biological systems and produce a specific physiological effect. Many bioactive compounds have been studied for their potential anti-cancer effects.

Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of apoptosis, which is an intracellular phenomenon that has received attention in recent cancer research. Ferroptosis refers to cell death via iron ion regulation, a programmed form of cell death caused by oxidative stress occurring inside the cell.

The main goal of this Special Issue is to study the mechanism of the possibility and effectiveness of new bioactive compounds as anti-cancer drugs through the ferroptosis signaling pathway.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English.
