ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters is a peer-reviewed academic journal in the field of medicinal chemistry. Founded in 2009, this online journal is published monthly by the American Chemical Society.

The Editor-in-Chief is Dennis C. Liotta (Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA).^[1]

The journal publishes short articles ("letters") on experimental or theoretical results of exceptional timeliness in all aspects of pure and applied medicinal chemistry and its extension into pharmacology. The journal publishes 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^[2]
