Research of Bioactive Synthetic and Natural Products Chemistry

Dear Colleagues,

Research in novel bioactive ingredients and formulations is constantly expanding. Synthetic and natural products with specialized mechanism of action have aroused the interest of Industry and Academic research. Chemical modifications of compounds of natural origin to improve physicochemical and biological properties is a challenge for experts in biomedical sciences.

The special issue “Research of Bioactive Synthetic And Natural Products Chemistry'” will curate fundamental and applied methods for the development, analysis and biological properties of synthetic and natural products, and final formulations, as well.

Topics include, but are not limited to, methods and/or applications in the following fields:

• Synthesis and structure elucidation of new synthetic bioactive compounds
• Isolation, chemistry and biological activity of natural products 
• Development and effectiveness of innovative bioactive formulations 
• Quantification of bioactive ingredients

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
