Breakthroughs in Medicinal Chemistry: New Targets and Mechanisms, New Drugs, New Hopes
is a series of Editorials, which is published on a biannual basis by the Editorial Board of the Medicinal
Chemistry section of the journal Molecules. In these Editorials, we highlight in brief reports (of about
one hundred words) a number of recently published articles that describe crucial findings, such as
the discovery of novel drug targets and mechanisms of action, or novel classes of drugs, which may
inspire future medicinal chemistry endeavours devoted to addressing prime unmet medical needs
