Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Several natural products and biologically active substrates contain heterocycle subunits that confer to the molecules’ immense biological activities, including antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-hyperglycemic, and many more. Nevertheless, the importance of heterocycles is not only in the pharmaceutical area, but also in their other chemical and technical utilities as dyes, herbicides, agrochemicals, corrosion inhibitors, and photostabilizers. In recent years, new efforts have been made by scientists to use new eco-friendly synthetic methodologies to increase the efficiency of the reactions and to reduce their toxicity.

This Special Issue collects suitable research articles related to advances in the described area, including both the use of nonconventional solvents such as ionic liquids (Ils), deep eutectic solvents (DES), water and microwave or ultrasound irradiations in green reaction conditions, for example, solvent-free or water.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
