Molecular Therapy is the leading journal for research in the areas of gene transfer, vector development and design, stem cell manipulation, development of gene-, peptide- and protein-, oligonucleotide- and cell-based therapeutics to correct genetic and acquired diseases, vaccine development, pre-clinical target validation, safety/efficacy studies, and clinical trials. Available in print and online, Molecular Therapy is dedicated to promoting the sciences in genetics, medicine and biotechnology. Publishing important peer-reviewed research and cutting-edge reviews and commentaries, the journal continues to attract the best material in the field. Molecular Therapy's 2009 impact factor is 6.239*.

Molecular Therapy — Nucleic Acids publishes research targeted to the advances in nucleic acid-based therapeutics to treat and/or correct genetic and acquired disease. Subject areas include: development of therapeutics based on nucleic acids and their derivatives, vector development and design for the delivery of RNA-based therapeutics, and applications of gene-modifying agents.

Our aim is to encourage chemists to publish as much as possible their experimental detail, particularly synthetic procedures and characterization information. There is no restriction on the length of the experimental section. In addition, availability of compound samples is published and considered as important information. Authors are encouraged to register or deposit their chemical samples through the non-profit international organization Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI).

Natural Product Reports (NPR) is a critical review journal that stimulates progress in all areas of natural products research, including isolation, structural and stereochemical determination, biosynthesis, biological activity and synthesis. Natural Product Reports covers natural products from marine, plant, fungal and microbial environments. The scope of the journal is very broad, and many reviews discuss the role of natural products in the wider bioinorganic, bioorganic and chemical biology communities. Areas covered include the following: Total synthesis and semi-synthesis; Enzymology and structural biology; Biosynthesis and biotechnology; Nucleic acids; Genetics; Chemical ecology; Carbohydrates; Primary and secondary metabolism; Analytical techniques

The Natural Products Journal publishes original research articles, reviews, letters and guest edited issues on all aspects of research and development in the field including: isolation, purification, structure elucidation, synthesis and bioactivity of chemical compounds found in nature.

Nature Reviews Drug Discovery is a monthly journal aimed at everyone working in the drug discovery and development arena. In addition to the highest-quality reviews and perspectives covering the entire field, each issue includes news stories that investigate the hottest topics in drug discovery, timely summaries of key primary research papers, and concise updates on the latest advances in fast-moving areas such as new drug approvals, patent law and emerging industry trends.Subjects covered * Target discovery * Rational drug design * Combinatorial and parallel synthesis * Medicinal chemistry * Key compound classes * Natural products * High-throughput screening * Novel therapeutic approaches to disease states * Microarrays * Bioinformatics and chemoinformatics * Absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination (ADME) * Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics * Pharmacology * Toxicology * Pharmacogenomics and toxicogenomics * Drug delivery * Biopharmaceuticals * Biotechnology * Vaccines * Clinical trial evaluation * Regulatory issues * Pharmacoeconomics.

NJC (New Journal of Chemistry) is a broad-based primary journal encompassing all branches of chemistry and its sub-disciplines. It publishes high-quality work that opens new directions in chemistry or in other scientific disciplines. Research must demonstrate that it will have an impact on areas of research other than that of the reported work.

Oriental Journal of Chemistry (OJC) Invites brief communications and full length papers for rapid publication pertaining to original research of commercial or academic importance. The journal provides an interdisciplinary medium covering almost all aspects of chemistry viz. Inorganic, Organic, Physical, Analytical as well as Biochemistry, Coordination Chemistry, Electrochemistry, Computational Chemistry, Spectroscopy, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Chemical Physics, Nano Chemistry, Phytochemistry, Chemistry of petroleum, Minerals, Polymers Food, Soil, Water as well as Environmental Chemistry. Oriental Journal of Chemistry (OJC) is a scientific research journal started in 1985 by Oriental Scientific Publishing Co. It publishes original research work almost all branches of chemistry of academic and commercial importance. The Editor is Dr. Syed Aftab Iqbal.

Pharmaceutical Biology will publish manuscripts describing the discovery, methods for discovery, description, analysis characterization, and production/isolation (including sources and surveys) of biologically-active chemicals or other substances, drugs, pharmaceutical products, or preparations utilized in systems of traditional medicine.Topics may generally encompass any facet of natural product research related to pharmaceutical biology. Papers dealing with agents or topics related to natural product drugs are also appropriate (e.g., semi-synthetic derivatives). Manuscripts will be published as reviews, perspectives, regular research articles, and short communications. The primary criteria for acceptance and publication are scientific rigor and potential to advance the field.Read More: http://informahealthcare.com/page/phb/Description.

More than 40 years in publication through 2007, the monthly Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal is devoted to scientific and technical research on the creation of new drugs and the improvement of manufacturing technology of drugs and intermediates. International contributors cover the entire spectrum of new drug research, including methods of synthesis; results of pharmacological, toxicological, and biochemical studies; investigation of structure - activity relationships in prediction of new compounds; methods and technical facilities used; and problems associated with the development of ecologically safe and economically feasible methods of industrial production. In addition, analytical reviews of international literature in the field report on recent developments around the world. Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal is a translation of the peer-reviewed Russian journal Khimiko-Farmatsevticheskii Zhurnal.
