Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The fact that heterocyclic compounds play particularly important functions in living organisms and have found many practical applications makes this group of derivatives a continuously interesting material for further research and new publications. They constitute a structural element of nucleic acids, i.e., chemical substances that carry the genetic information controlling inheritance. Some of the naturally occurring products, e.g., pigments, vitamins, alkaloids, and antibiotics, possess a heterocyclic core. Modern society is dependent on synthetic heterocycles that are predominantly used as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and veterinary products. They also find applications as sanitizers, antioxidants, copolymers, dyes, and plastics. They are used as vehicles in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Due to the variety of modern methods for synthesis, the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds has recently developed rapidly and dynamically. This is evidenced in the growing trend toward the design and synthesis of a very large number of new heterocycles.
The aim of this Special Issue is to spot recent advances in “Heterocyclic Compounds with Potential Biological Activity”, including original research papers or up-to-date, comprehensive reviews, highlighting the recent identification of synthetic and natural molecules with potential biological activity and possible applications.
We believe that this Special Issue is a relevant and timely one, and we look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
