ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters is a peer-reviewed journal that keeps the world informed of important experimental and theoretical results in all aspects of pure and applied medicinal chemistry and their applications to pharmacology. Articles are brief, delivering you cutting edge research as quickly as possible. ASAP articles are now posted and the first issue will publish in Spring 2010.
Free access to ASAP articles is available for a limited time.
ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters is led by Dennis C. Liotta of Emory University and an editorial board of active research scientists from industry and academia. The journal publishes studies ranging from compound discovery and design to optimization, biological evaluation, delivery, and pharmacology.

* Award-Winning Website – Links to SciFinder® coupled with powerful search and quick navigation to the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, the most cited journal in Medicinal Chemistry, as reported in the 2008 Journal Citation Reports®.
* Value – No publication charges and a low subscription rate makes ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters the best value for authors and their institutions
The journal will publish studies that range from compound design to optimization, biological evaluation, drug delivery, and pharmacology. Specific areas include, but are not limited to:
* Identification, synthesis, and optimization of lead biologically active compounds and drugs
* Biological characterization of new chemical entities in the context of drug discovery
* Computational, cheminformatics, and structural studies for the identification or SAR analysis of bioactive molecules, ligands and their targets, etc.
* Novel and improved methodologies, including radiation biochemistry, with broad application to medicinal chemistry
* Discovery technologies for biologically active compounds from both synthetic and natural (plant and other) sources
* Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies that address mechanisms underlying drug disposition and response
* Pharmacogenetic and pharmacogenomic studies used to enhance drug design and the translation of medicinal chemistry into the clinic
* Mechanistic drug metabolism and regulation of metabolic enzyme gene expression
