Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today, biologically important natural products act as crucial starting points for drug discovery and potential sources of new medicines, along with being critical tools to learn about biologically important processes. Due to the low natural abundance and structural complexity of many bioactive natural products and their analogues, the ability to procure useful quantities of biologically important molecules by sustainable, scalable synthetic strategies is emerging as an important goal in synthetic chemistry. Approaches to naturally occurring molecules that yield substantial material enable collaborative investigations and eventual commercial production and inherently spur scientific development of eco-friendly catalytic systems for the synthesis of chemical entities of importance to society.

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.
