Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry is a popular forum for the review of areas of keen and topical interest to medicinal chemists and others in allied disciplines. Each issue is solely devoted to a specific topic, containing six to nine reviews, which provide the reader a comprehensive survey of that area. A Guest Editor who is an expert in the topic under review will assemble each issue. The scope of Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry will cover all areas of medicinal chemistry, including developments in rational drug design, synthetic chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, high-throughput screening, combinatorial chemistry, compound diversity measurements, drug absorption, drug distribution, metabolism, new and emerging drug targets, natural products, pharmacogenomics, and structure-activity relationships. Medicinal chemistry is a rapidly maturing discipline. The study of how structure and function are related is absolutely essential to understanding the molecular basis of life. Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry aims to contribute in a major way to the growth of scientific knowledge and insight, and facilitate the discovery and development of new therapeutic agents to treat debilitating human disorders. The journal is essential for every medicinal chemist who wishes to be kept informed and up-to-date with the latest and most important advances.

《藥物化學(xué)的當(dāng)前話題》是一個(gè)廣受歡迎的論壇，旨在綜述藥物化學(xué)家和其他相關(guān)學(xué)科領(lǐng)域中人們所關(guān)注的熱門話題。每一期都專門討論一個(gè)特定的主題，包括6到9篇評(píng)論，為讀者提供了該領(lǐng)域的全面調(diào)查。一位在審查主題方面是專家的客座編輯將匯集每一期。藥物化學(xué)的當(dāng)前主題將涵蓋藥物化學(xué)的所有領(lǐng)域，包括合理藥物設(shè)計(jì)、合成化學(xué)、生物有機(jī)化學(xué)、高通量篩選、組合化學(xué)、化合物多樣性測(cè)量、藥物吸收、藥物分布、代謝、新出現(xiàn)的藥物靶點(diǎn)、天然產(chǎn)物、藥物基因組學(xué)和結(jié)構(gòu)-活性關(guān)系的發(fā)展。藥物化學(xué)是一門迅速成熟的學(xué)科。研究結(jié)構(gòu)和功能之間的關(guān)系對(duì)于理解生命的分子基礎(chǔ)是絕對(duì)必要的。藥物化學(xué)的當(dāng)前主題旨在為科學(xué)知識(shí)和洞察力的增長(zhǎng)做出重大貢獻(xiàn)，并促進(jìn)治療衰弱性人類疾病的新治療藥物的發(fā)現(xiàn)和開(kāi)發(fā)。這本雜志對(duì)每一位希望了解最新和最重要進(jìn)展的醫(yī)藥化學(xué)家來(lái)說(shuō)都是必不可少的。
