Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heterocyclic compounds are a class of organic compounds with a heterocyclic structure, which usually exhibit good biological activity and medicinal value, so they have broad applications. With the emergence of drug resistance and the improvement in environmental protection requirements, the demand for safer and more efficient novel heterocyclic compounds is growing. These novel heterocyclic compounds can be isolated from natural products, synthesized according to newly discovered structure–activity relationships, or further improved on the basis of lead compounds. In addition, the improvement in the application technology of novel heterocyclic compounds is also one of the focuses of attention. Therefore, this Special Issue will focus on the latest important discoveries of heterocyclic organic compounds, including, but not limited to, new bioactive molecules, new modes of action, and new methods or techniques.

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.
