The Medicinal Chemistry section publishes pioneering research across all aspects of medicinal chemistry and drug discovery science. It covers a broad range of topics including drug design, drug discovery, drug development, the study of their metabolism and mechanisms of action of biologically active compounds.

Our aim is to publish updated reviews as well as research articles with comprehensive theoretical and experimental details covering all aspects of small molecules as drug candidates e.g. drug discovery and design, combinatorial chemistry, structure-property correlations, molecular modelling and bioinformatics. Short communications are also accepted; therefore, there is no restriction on the length of a paper.
