Sulfur-Containing Scaffolds in Medicinal Chemistry

Dear Colleagues,

Sulfur is an essential element for life, whether for the growth and development of plants or for human health. Furthermore, sulfur substances, whether acyclic or heterocyclic, have a great impact on the search for useful substances in the treatment of numerous diseases.

Currently, a large number of original scientific articles have been presented on this topic, exploring reactions that use sulfur compounds as a starting material and for biological applications that utilize their antitumor, leishmanicidal, antibacterial, antifungal, antimalarial, and trypanocidal activities.

Pharmaceuticals invites both reviews and original articles that present the historical importance of sulfur-containing compounds in medicinal chemistry, as well as the latest findings published. The collection of manuscripts will be published as a Special Issue of the journal.
