Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to announce the launch of the Second Edition of our Special Issue in Molecules on the topic of organic synthesis in drug discovery. This can be interpreted in a broad light and can cover the topics listed in the key words. It is recommended that each paper should have a short introduction which indicates which classes of biologically active compound the work is relevant to. Compounds reported in the papers should have full synthetic characterisation data and some biological data. Known compounds should have a literature reference. Compounds without biological data may be published if the compounds are or are related to a known class of active substance such as steroids, central nervous system (CNS) active drugs, building blocks for active natural products or pharmaceuticals, etc. Industrial pharmaceutical discovery or synthesis or late-stage drug selection is welcome. The aim is to highlight the role that organic synthesis plays in developing methods that may be exploited for finding lead compounds and drugs by the pharmaceutical industry.
Dr. Michael John Plater

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 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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
