The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry publishes studies that contribute to an understanding of the relationship between molecular structure and biological activity or mode of action. Some specific areas that are appropriate include the following: Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel biologically active compounds, diagnostic agents, or labeled ligands employed as pharmacological tools. Molecular modifications of reported series that lead to a significantly improved understanding of their structure-activity relationships (SAR). Routine extensions of existing series that do not utilize novel chemical or biological approaches or do not add significantly to a basic understanding of the SAR of the series will normally not be accepted for publication. Structural biological studies (X-ray, NMR, etc.) of relevant ligands and targets with the aim of investigating molecular recognition processes in the action of biologically active compounds. Molecular biological studies (e.g., site-directed mutagenesis) of macromolecular targets that lead to an improved understanding of molecular recognition. Computational studies that provide fresh insight into the SAR of compound series that are of current general interest or analysis of other available data that subsequently advance medicinal chemistry knowledge. Substantially novel computational chemistry methods with demonstrated value for the identification, optimization, or target interaction analysis of bioactive molecules. Effect of molecular structure on the distribution, pharmacokinetics, and metabolic transformation of biologically active compounds. This may include design, synthesis, and evaluation of novel types of prodrugs. Novel methodology with broad application to medicinal chemistry, but only if the methods have been tested on relevant molecules.

Start Your Free Journal!Scholar9.com is a peer-review platform that hosts journals from across the globe. Please note that we do not own any of the journals hosted on the platform.
Our platform enables journal owners to send articles for peer review to users who have registered via https://scholar9.com/register and have consented to serve as reviewers for multiple journals. Additionally, we offer an indirect manuscript submission system for journals that are claimed and actively managed by their respective owners on Scholar9.com.
For accurate information about the indexing status of journals (in databases such as UGC CARE, Scopus, or Web of Science) and contact details, users must refer to the respective official websites.
Scholar9 is not responsible for indexing claims, manuscript acceptance/rejection, refunds of article processing charges, or any stage of the final publication process. Users are strongly advised to verify all information provided on the platform independently.
Scholar9.com disclaims liability for disputes related to indexing claims, publication decisions, or other journal-specific matters. Users are encouraged to contact the respective journal owners directly for detailed information and clarifications.
