Aims & Scope

Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal, a peer-reviewed journal, is dedicated to scientific and technical research on the creation and manufacturing improvement of medicines and intermediates. Presents the full spectrum of new drug research, including synthesis methods, rational drug design and pharmacological, toxicological, modelling, docking and biochemical studies. Describes the properties and applications of new medicinal products, drug delivery, targeting, and multifunctional nanosystems. Discusses proteomics metabolonomics, and pharmacogenomics of new pharmaceutical agents, along with nanobiotechnology of SiRNA, microRNAs, antibodies, and nanoparticles. Applies new physicochemical methods to identification, quantitative determination, uncover molecular details of condensed media and control of solid particle surface chemistry. Reviews international literature to report on recent developments in the field.
