Synthesis and Application of Anticancer Inhibitors

Dear Colleagues，

The aim of this Special Issue is to attract high-quality papers focused on the design, synthesis, and molecular mechanism of action of novel antitumor molecules. We are especially interested in articles on the discovery of novel oncological targets based on biologic and genotypic context, and those that rationally design effective molecules to illustrate the relationship between the chemical structure and the biological activity. The potential anticancer inhibitors for the Special Issue include, but are not limited to, traditional chemotherapeutic agents, targeted therapies and immunomodulators, small molecules, peptides, and polysaccharides. We welcome both original and review articles.

Dr. Peiju Qiu

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.
