Medicinal Chemistry Open Access Journals

Medicinal chemistry deals with the design, optimization and development of chemical compounds for use as drugs. It is inherently a multidisciplinary topic — beginning with the synthesis of potential drugs followed by studies investigating their interactions with biological targets to understand the medicinal effects of the drug, its metabolism and side-effects. Medicinal chemistry is a stimulating field as it links many scientific disciplines and allows for collaboration with other scientists in researching and developing new drugs. Medicinal chemists apply their chemistry training to the process of synthesizing new pharmaceuticals. The Open Medicinal Chemistry Journal is an Open Access online journal, which publishes original research, expert reviews/mini-reviews and thematic issues in all areas of medicinal chemistry and rational drug design. The Open Medicinal Chemistry Journal, a peer-reviewed journal, is an important and reliable source of current information on developments in the field. The emphasis is on publishing quality papers rapidly and freely available to researchers worldwide.
