With an impact factor of 3.150 (2008), ChemMedChem on its way to become a premier journal at the interface of chemistry, biology and medicine. ChemMedChem is made in Europe, but publishes primary as well as critical secondary and tertiary information from authors across and for the world. Its mission is to integrate the wide and flourishing field of medicinal and pharmaceutical sciences, ranging from drug design and discovery to drug development and delivery, from molecular modeling to combinatorial chemistry, from target validation to lead generation and ADMET studies—to name just a few topics.

ChemMedChem replaces Il Farmaco—An International Journal of Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, which was published by the Società Chimica Italiana until the end of 2005 and generously given up in order to limit the crowding of journals in these sciences.
