Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The identification and selection of antiproliferative compounds is of particular importance in cancer research. Studies of natural and synthetic compounds with antiproliferative effects have provided new insights into their potential for cancer treatment. Understanding the mechanisms through which these compounds affect cell proliferation may lead to the development of more effective therapies that specifically target cancer cells.
This Special Issue encourages the submission of papers on the antiproliferative effects of synthetic and natural compounds on cancer cells from marine organisms, fungi, microorganisms, and medicinal plants. We only welcome submissions of well chemically characterized compounds. The following areas of natural and synthetic compounds with antiproliferative activities are covered:
- Chemistryofnaturalproducts;
- Syntheticchemistry;
- Mechanismofaction;
- Moleculartarget;
- Formulations and delivery systems.
This Special Issue aims to publish original research papers and reviews from researchers worldwide.

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.
