Medicinal Chemistry Research
Medicinal Chemistry Research is a peer-reviewed scientific journal of medicinal chemistry emphasizing the structure-activity relationships of biologically active compounds. It was founded in 1991 by Alfred Burger, who also founded the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry.
Editors
Alfred Burger served as its first Editor-in-Chief before passing on the mantle to Richard Glennon. Stephen J. Cutler then took over and served as the Editor-in-Chief between 2002 and 2019. Longqin Hu became the current Editor-in-Chief in 2020. The current Associate Editors include Esperanza J. Carcache de Blanco, Bowen Ke, Amol Kulkarni and Marco Pieroni, supported by a 50-member international editorial board.Scope of the journal
Medicinal Chemistry Research publishes comments, review articles, brief reports, and full original research articles on a wide range of topics in medicinal chemistry, drug design, and drug discovery, many of which emphasize the structure-activity relationships of biologically active compounds. Med Chem Res is a hybrid open-access journal. There are no fees to submit or publish unless the authors choose to publish an article with color figures in print or if the authors choose to publish Open Access.

Authors are encouraged to consult the updated Instructions to Authors at https://www.springer.com/journal/44/submission-guidelines for manuscript formatting, particularly regarding graphical abstracts and the new reference style. Figures, tables, and schemes should be embedded directly within the manuscript text, immediately following their citation, to facilitate the peer review process. It is recommended to include only essential schemes, figures, and tables, with additional figures, NMR and HRMS spectra placed in one electronic supporting document. Notably, computational modeling studies must include experimental biological validation against the targeted enzyme/protein to be published in Medicinal Chemistry Research.Manuscripts should be submitted via Springer Nature's Article Processing Platform at https://submission.springernature.com/new-submission/44/3.
