Journal overview

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry publishes open access research on enzyme inhibitors, inhibitory processes, and agonist/antagonist receptor interactions in the development of medicinal and anti-cancer agents.

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry aims to provide an international and interdisciplinary platform for the latest findings in enzyme inhibition research.

The journal’s focus includes current developments in:

  • Enzymology
  • Cell biology
  • Chemical biology
  • Microbiology
  • Physiology
  • Pharmacology leading to drug design
  • Molecular recognition processes
  • Distribution and metabolism of biologically active compounds


Across these fields of study, special attention is given to:

  • Structure and molecular aspects
  • Enzyme kinetics and inactivation mechanisms
  • Structure-activity relationships (QSAR, graphic techniques)
  • Drug development studies and drug release
  • Control mechanisms in metabolic processes


Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry
accepts original articles, reviews/systematic reviews, methods, brief reports, data notes, discussions, editorials and letters to the editor.

The journal operates a single anonymized peer review policy. All articles will be made freely and permanently available online through gold open access publication.
