ACS Omega published its 1,000th article of 2017 in late December. The article, “Indolizine-Based Scaffolds as Efficient and Versatile Tools: Application to the Synthesis of Biotin-Tagged Antiangiogenic Drugs,” marks a milestone in the journal’s growing prominence and popularity which ended 2017 with 1,008 published articles.

The 1,000th article describes the design and optimization of polyfunctional scaffolds based on a fluorescent indolizine core derivatized with various orthogonal groups. The paper details the creation of a new biotin-modified scaffold convenient to prepare biotin-tagged drugs for cellular targets identification using proteomics analysis.

The article’s nine authors are Marie Arvin-Berod, Agnès Desroches-Castan, Simon Bonte, Sabine Brugière, Yohann Couté, Laurent Guyon, Jean-Jacques Feige, Isabelle Baussanne, and Martine Demeunynck, working out of Université Grenoble Alpes in France. Some of the paper’s authors are publishing their first work in an ACS publication. Others have a decades-long history of publishing in ACS journals as diverse as Analytical Chemistry, Bioconjugate Chemistry, the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS), the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, The Journal of Organic Chemistry, and The Journal of Physical Chemistry B.
