Abstract
Cryptococcosis, an invasive fungal infection that affects both immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals, has emerged as an important public health problem in Africa, Asia, and America. The limited number of antimycotic drugs available to treat this disease, their side effects and toxicity, and the emergence of resistant strains support the search for more effective and less toxic compounds. This review compiles examples of novel synthetic compounds, which could be used as templates for developing novel drugs for the treatment of Cryptococcus infections.
Keywords: Antifungal, azole, cryptococcosis, Cryptococcus, heterocycles, natural product derivatives, peptide, phospholipidic compounds.

Exploring the Role of Chemical Graph Theory in Advancing Current Organic Synthesis
Organic synthesis is a fundamental discipline in chemistry, crucial for the creation of complex molecules with diverse applications in pharmaceuticals, materials science, and beyond. However, the process of designing efficient synthetic routes for target molecules remains challenging. Chemical graph theory, a branch of theoretical chemistry, offers powerful tools for understanding ...read more
Photoswitches for Molecular Recognition
This Special Issue would cover the hot topics on synthesis and chemical and photophysical characterization of new photoswitchable derivatives and their applications on molecular recognition of metabolites and biological active compounds, both in physiological medium and in living cells. Photoswitches are compounds that can change their conformation or properties in ...read more
