Synthesis and Innovative Biological Activity of Boron-Containing Compounds

Dear Colleagues,

The applications of boron-containing compounds (BCCs) in the biomedical field are intensifying. The identification of new BCCs from nature or via synthesis increases the feasibility of using BCCs to create drugs with comparative advantages to those of drugs available today. A deeper understanding of the relevance of boron atoms in biomolecules is emerging, while the details of innovative synthesis, chemical characterization, elucidation of mechanism of action, as well as the interactions of known targets for prevention, diagnoses, or therapy purposes, are attractive topics in the medicinal chemistry of BCCs.

Therefore, we invite you to share your novel ideas and achievements, including innovative synthesis of potential bioactive boron-containing compounds, computational chemistry, biophysical characterization, or any type of biological effect of BCCs with potential application to prevent, diagnose, or treat diseases by contributing original papers and reviews to this Special Issue of Inorganics.

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. Inorganics 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 2200 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.
