藥物化學已迅速發展成為一個高度跨學科的領域，豐富了從化學信息學家和物理化學家到分子生物學家和藥理學家的廣泛專業領域的專家的合作努力。未來的藥物化學每月為這個不斷擴大和多樣化的社區提供評論和辯論的機會。該雜志展示了藥物研發的里程碑和新興研究的專家分析——從目標的識別，到生物活性藥物的發現、設計、合成和評估。沒有比這更大的壓力來更快、更有效地生產有效、安全的化合物。未來的藥物化學提供了一個論壇，為快速出版的原始研究和批評的最新里程碑在該領域。重點放在確保該期刊激發人們對預期將在影響藥物化學未來方向方面發揮越來越重要作用的問題的認識。在相關領域，還積極鼓勵在生物技術、酶學、綠色化學、基因組學、免疫學、材料科學、被忽視疾病和孤兒藥物、藥物基因組學、蛋白質組學和毒理學等多方面作出貢獻。主要的主題包括：藥物發現技術；新型先導化合物的設計與合成；綜合和建模的計算方法；結構表征的生物物理技術；綜述新的治療策略和新出現的靶點；藥物靶向與給藥；托克斯ADME /調查；對科學政策、經濟和知識產權問題的評論。除了核心內容的審查，專利審查，觀點和原創研究，該雜志還提供開明的評論和意見，對與學術界和工業界有關的辯論熱點領域，以及會議報告，采訪等。通過保持對新興主題的高度反應，并提供深入的藥物興趣和治療方法的分析，該雜志將作為一個有價值的參考，不僅對藥物化學家，而且對所有對藥物科學的進步感興趣的人。該雜志歡迎不請自來的文章建議。

Medicinal chemistry has evolved rapidly into a highly interdisciplinary field, enriched by the collaborative efforts of experts from a wide spectrum of specialist areas, from chemoinformaticians and physical chemists to molecular biologists and pharmacologists. Future Medicinal Chemistry provides a monthly point of access to commentary and debate for this ever-expanding and diversifying community. The journal showcases milestones in pharmaceutical R&D and features expert analysis of emerging research-from the identification of targets, through to the discovery, design, synthesis and evaluation of bioactive agents.There has never been more pressure to produce potent and safe compounds faster and more efficiently. Future Medicinal Chemistry offers a forum for the rapid publication of original research and critical reviews of the latest milestones in the field. Strong emphasis is placed on ensuring that the journal stimulates awareness of issues that are anticipated to play an increasingly central role in influencing the future direction of pharmaceutical chemistry. Where relevant, contributions are also actively encouraged on areas as diverse as biotechnology, enzymology, green chemistry, genomics, immunology, materials science, neglected diseases and orphan drugs, pharmacogenomics, proteomics and toxicology.Principal themes include:Drug discovery technologiesDesign and synthesis of novel lead compoundsComputational approaches to synthesis and modelingBiophysical techniques for structural characterizationOverviews of novel therapeutic strategies and emerging targetsDrug targeting and deliveryADME/Tox investigationsCommentary on science policy, economic and IP issuesIn addition to its core content of Reviews, Patent Reviews, Perspectives and Original Research, the journal also features enlightened commentary and opinion on topical areas of debate relevant to academia and industry, as well as conference reports, interviews and more.By remaining highly responsive to emerging themes, and providing in-depth analysis of agents of medicinal interest and therapeutic approaches, the journal will act as a valuable reference, not only for medicinal chemists, but for all those interested in the advancement of pharmaceutical science.The journal welcomes unsolicited article proposals.
