ChemMedChem的目標是成為一份集化學、生物學和醫(yī)學于一體的歐洲一流雜志。ChemMedChem將在歐洲生產(chǎn)，但將出版來自世界各地和全世界作者的初級、關鍵的二級和三級信息。它的使命是整合廣泛而繁榮的醫(yī)藥科學領域，從藥物設計和發(fā)現(xiàn)到藥物開發(fā)和交付，從分子模型到組合化學，從目標驗證到先導物的產(chǎn)生和ADMET研究，等等。ChemMedChem取代了Il farmaco, Il farmaco是一種國際藥物化學和藥物化學雜志，將由意大利化學學會出版，直到2005年底。

ChemMedChem is intended to become a premier European journal at the interface of chemistry, biology and medicine. ChemMedChem will be made in Europe, but will publish 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 will be 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.
