Natural Bioactive Molecules and Toxins from Marine and Terrestrial Origin

Dear Colleagues,

Natural bioactive molecules and toxins from marine and terrestrial origins hold an outstanding place not only in the development of new drug candidates for human and veterinarian medicine, but also for their eventual toxicological effects on humans and animals. Therefore, particular bioactive chemical entities from natural marine and terrestrial resources can be used unambiguously as bioactive compounds, or as drug lead molecules. The wide-range and important chemical diversity among the natural bioactive molecules has attracted significant consideration for understanding their mechanisms of action and as target tools for particular receptors. This Special Issue aims to attract original research article contributions studying the isolation, purification, and functional and molecular characterization of new natural bioactive molecules and toxins from marine and terrestrial origins, as well as reviews that make substantial advances within this field.

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. 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.
