Medicinal Chemistry Research is a journal focused on the publication of novel findings in drug design, drug discovery, and mechanisms of action of biologically active compounds. Offers prompt publication of experimental achievements. Covers chemical biological relationships, especially on: structure-activity relationships, investigations of biochemical and pharmacological targets of drug action, and correlations of structure with mode of action. Increases understanding of biochemical interactions. Reviews and "New Trends" articles are solicited from the leading researchers in all fields of medicinal chemistry.
