Notwithstanding the big efforts devoted to the investigation of the mechanisms responsible for the high-energy (E>100 MeV) gamma-ray emission in active galactic nuclei (AGN), the definite answer is still missing. The X-ray energy band (0.4-10 keV) is crucial for this type of study, since both synchrotron and inverse Compton emission can contribute to the formation of the continuum. Within an ongoing project aimed at the investigation of the gamma-ray emission mechanism acting in the AGN detected by the EGRET telescope onboard CGRO, we firstly focused on the sources for which X-ray and optical/UV data are available in the XMM-Newton public archive. The preliminary results are outlined here.
