Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pyrazine and its derivatives constitute an important class of heterocyclic compounds that are present in many natural products and can be synthesized chemically or biologically. They are important components of aroma fragrances and widely used as agrochemicals. Pyrazine-containing drugs are also extensively used for different therapeutic purposes. Besides that, pyrazine derivatives have applications as dyes, electroluminescent materials, organic semi-conductors, and as suitable ligands in coordination chemistry.
The pyrazine nucleus is present in many polycyclic compounds of biological significance such as quinoxalines and phenazines and bio-luminescent natural products such as pteridines and flavins. Condensed systems containing pyrazine and other heterocyclic scaffolds have given rise to compounds with several biological activities.
Researchers in the field are cordially invited to submit relevant manuscripts to the synthesis of pyrazine derivatives and their use in the construction of condensed systems for a Special Issue, ‘Pyrazine Derivatives’, within the journal Molecules. Moreover, contributions regarding their potential applications are also welcome.

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.
