Druggable Targets in Human Diseases and Therapeutic Target Identification for Bioactive Natural Products

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the era of precision medicine, elucidation of drug targets has emerged as the principal drivers of innovative therapeutic development. Concurrently, natural products offer a rich repository of novel molecular entities for targeted therapies, leveraging their inherent chemical diversity and multi-target regulatory advantages. Nevertheless, efficient screening of bioactive constituents from complex natural products, coupled with accurate elucidation of their molecular targets and mechanisms, remains a formidable challenge.

This Topic,“Druggable Targets in Human Diseases and Therapeutic Target Identification for Bioactive Natural Products,” seeks to assemble cutting-edge research spanning the isolation and structural elucidation of bioactive natural products, target profiling strategy, and comprehensive pharmacodynamic validation. Contributions unveiling novel small-molecule targets in diseases and include natural small molecule validation work are equally welcome.

We invite high-quality submissions that integrate innovative technologies with robust experimental validation to drive forward the next generation of natural product-based targeted therapeutics.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
