Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to publish your manuscripts in this Special Issue which deals with coordination chemistry and redox properties of metabolites.
Various primary and secondary metabolites have been intensively investigated for their pharmacological and other activities. Many activities of metabolites depend on the redox properties of metabolites and their abilities to form coordination complexes, especially with transition metals such as iron, copper or manganese. Redox active metabolites and their coordination complexes affect concentrations of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in tissues. Since ROS participate in physiological and pathological processes, metabolites such as kynurenines, polyphenols, amino acids, and others, including their synthetic analogues, are explored as potential medicaments for a treatment of degenerative or some metabolic diseases. Furthermore, some metabolites or their coordination complexes can be used in organic and analytical chemistry as redox active agents or catalysts. Therefore, this Special Issue dedicated to coordination chemistry and redox properties of metabolites can provide remarkably interesting insights into innovative and future trends.
The editors welcome original research or review types of articles related to all fields of coordination chemistry and redox properties of metabolites.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Materials 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 2600 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.
