Abstract
Just as spikes help to deter birds from landing on building facades, strategic N-methylation in carborane-substituted diclofenac prevents the carboxylic acid from unwanted lactam formation, thus maintaining the open-chain structure for exploration of its anti-cancer potential. More details can be found in article 10.1002/cmdc.202500084 by Evamarie Hey-Hawkins and co-workers. Art by Christoph Selg.
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.
Contents
ChemMedChem publishes an attractive mixture of:
