Some dictionaries treat such as an adjective, but it is more likely to be considered a determiner, a predeterminer, or a substitute for a pronoun. See https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/american/such

You can say:

I am interested in such topics. (not such topic)

She has such a beautiful voice.

Such people are interesting to me.
