Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pharmaceutical interaction is a broad concept that encompasses all interactions between drugs and between drugs and molecules in the body. This Topic focuses on the structure–activity relationships within drug and bioactive substance interactions and molecular target discovery. Drug interactions are important in understanding how drugs interact and influence each other in vivo. Structure–activity relationship studies aim to elucidate the relationship between the structure and the biological activity of compounds that bind to specific molecular targets. This Topic aims to provide new insights into the mechanisms of drug interactions and the identification of target molecules using state-of-the-art research methods and techniques. This is expected to contribute to the development of more effective drugs and the prevention of adverse drug reactions.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
