Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is entitled “Second Edition of Medicinal Chemistry in Asia”. In Asia, many research groups, both from industry and academia, are working on medicinal chemistry topics that cover almost all therapeutic fields, ranging from anticancer and antimicrobial agents to compounds potentially active in diabetes, hyperlipidemia, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases, cardiovascular diseases, nervous system disease, gastrointestinal disorders, and immune and inflammatory dysfunction. The results obtained—often proving to be very important and recognized all over the world—are derived from the close collaboration of experts in different areas, such as computational chemistry, organic chemistry, nanomedicine, cellular and molecular biology, biochemistry, and pharmacology.
Scientists from Asia are cordially invited to contribute original research papers or reviews to this Special Issue of Molecules, which reports on the design, synthesis, and evaluation of potentially active compounds and action mechanisms in the different subjects of medicinal chemistry.
