In analogy to Chemical Communications, MedChemComm will focus on preliminary articles in communications format. Presenting new ideas and concepts in the area of Medicinal Chemistry, MedChemcomm will include new studies related to biologically-active chemical or biochemical entities that can act as pharmacological agents with therapeutic potential or relevance. The journal will be suitable for readers from both academia and industry, conducting research in the field of medicinal chemistry, drug discovery, pharmacology and pharmaceutical research. This will include traditional areas of the chemical sciences together with topics at the interface with biology and physics. The journal will act globally with regional offices in Europe, Asia and Northern America. The first issue is expected by mid of next year..
