Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues:
This Special Issue intends to highlight the most recent advances in the field of developing and using biological active agents in treating different diseases including cancer, severe infections (with viral or bacterial etiology), etc. Along with the design and development of biological active agents and the extraction from natural sources, a special attention will be paid to different administration pathways as well as to the prevention of the spreading of infections and cancer. Manuscripts related to smart and targeted delivery are especially welcome. The use of computational chemistry in identifying potential biological active agents is especially welcome, as are manuscripts which exploit this field.
