Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Whether of natural or synthetic origin, antioxidants can protect cells and tissues from free-radical-mediated damage. Antioxidants can minimize food loss, act as preservatives in drug and herbal formulations, or act as health-promoting compounds. Indeed, oxidation and inflammation are strictly connected by means of pleiotropic and redundant pathways. Antioxidants can tackle inflammation-related diseases by limiting excessive cytokine-mediated inflammatory responses. In this Special Issue, we will focus on antioxidant design, synthesis, purification, characterization, mechanisms of action, and biological and toxicological activities through in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo investigations into synthetic antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. Nanotechnology-based formulations and delivery systems for these compounds, to improve bioavailability and reduce toxicity or chemical instability, will be also considered. Finally, updates on pharmacological effects, therapeutic properties, and future options in these compounds are also welcome. New protocols to assess the efficacy of these compounds will, furthermore, be considered.
The Special Issue welcomes manuscripts (reviews or research articles) regarding any aspect of synthetic antioxidants in relation to their applications in nutrition, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology and pharmacy, and food chemistry and technology.

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. Antioxidants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2900 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.
