New Compounds Discovery and Development in Medicine — Advances in Research on Potential Therapeutic Agents and Drug Candidates, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Despite huge progress in science and technology, we are still unable to cure many diseases. Research in recent years has shown that there is a great need for new, safe drugs in almost every field of medicine and pharmacy, including cardiology, neurology, oncology, microbiology, parasitology, virology, dermatology, hematology and endocrinology.

Therefore, the search for new compounds and substances of potential therapeutic importance is an important and urgent challenge for modern medicine. Publications of particular interest in our Special Topic include research and future perspectives on various compounds exhibiting a broad spectrum of biological activity (in vitro, in vivo and in silico studies). Research aimed at determining the molecular mechanisms of action of new compounds for their potential application in therapy will also be of interest. The search for new, active compounds is a tedious and lengthy process. The recent advances in research conducted towards the discovery of potential therapeutic agents and drug candidates, presented as part of this Special Topic, will provide the medical community with the latest knowledge in the field.

This Special Topic will publish original experimental research, reviews and preclinical observations regarding the discovery and development of new biologically active compounds in medicine.
