Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neoplastic diseases are one of the most important challenges of modern medical and chemical sciences due to their high frequency of occurrence and low chance for the successful recovery. Among the many methods of cancer treatment, chemotherapy plays a special role. However, the inadequacy and many side effects of the currently used chemotherapy justify the need for the continued search for new, more effective and safe cytostatics. At the same time, it should be noted that a large body of recent literature show that sulfonamides may serve as valuable leads for new and effective anti-cancer drugs with low toxicity on normal cells. This Special Issue aims to provide a broad survey of recent advances in the synthesis of sulfonamides with anticancer properties and their mechanisms of action on cancer cells. This Special Issue will contain contributions describing various aspects of this area. Reviews articles by experts in the field are also welcome.
