Aims and Scope
Topics in Medicinal Chemistry (TMC) covers all relevant aspects of medicinal
chemistry research, e.g. pathobiochemistry of diseases, identification and validation
of (emerging) drug targets, structural biology, drugability of targets, drug design
approaches, chemogenomics, synthetic chemistry including combinatorial methods,
bioorganic chemistry, natural compounds, high-throughput screening, pharmacological in vitro and in vivo investigations, drug-receptor interactions on the molecular
level, structure-activity relationships, drug absorption, distribution, metabolism,
elimination, toxicology and pharmacogenomics. Drug research requires interdisciplinary team-work at the interface between chemistry, biology and medicine. To
fulfil this need, TMC is intended for researchers and experts working in academia
and in the pharmaceutical industry, and also for graduates that look for a carefully
selected collection of high quality review articles on their respective field of
expertise.
Medicinal chemistry is both science and art. The science of medicinal chemistry
offers mankind one of its best hopes for improving the quality of life. The art of
medicinal chemistry continues to challenge its practitioners with the need for both
intuition and experience to discover new drugs. Hence sharing the experience of
drug research is uniquely beneficial to the field of medicinal chemistry.
All chapters from Topics in Medicinal Chemistry are published OnlineFirst with an
individual DOI. In references, Topics in Medicinal Chemistry is abbreviated as Top
Med Chem and cited as a journal.
