Abstract
The front cover picture shows that the introduction of a NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1)-responsive trigger group (in cyan sticks) to mask the S-alanine amido group turns PRMT4 inhibitors (in orange sticks) into cell-permeable prodrugs, that after in cell activation (magenta) are able to inhibit PRMT4 (yellow green) and reduce arginine dimethylation of the PRMT4 substrates BRG1-associated factor 155 (BAF155). More details can be found in the Research Article by Maria Giovanna Chini, Sabrina Castellano, and co-workers. Cover design by Gianluca Sbardella.
期刊介绍:
Quality research. Outstanding publications. With an impact factor of 3.124 (2019), ChemMedChem is a top journal for research at the interface of chemistry, biology and medicine. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
ChemMedChem 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. ChemMedChem typically covers topics on small molecules, therapeutic macromolecules, peptides, peptidomimetics, and aptamers, protein-drug conjugates, nucleic acid therapies, and beginning 2017, nanomedicine, particularly 1) targeted nanodelivery, 2) theranostic nanoparticles, and 3) nanodrugs.
