Topic and Scope:
The special issue "Pharmacology and Drug Metabolism" focuses on the fields of pharmacology and drug metabolism. This special issue covers various topics and subtopics related to pharmacology and drug metabolism. Below is a summary of the main subject headings and scope of this special issue:
Enzyme Inhibitor Design: An Essential Field in Biochemistry and Drug Development. Its primary objective is to develop compounds specifically designed to suppress the activity of a particular enzyme, with the aim of controlling or treating cellular or biochemical processes. The development of new compounds/drugs is of paramount importance for understanding biochemical mechanisms and for the treatment or management of diseases. Enzyme inhibitor design holds significant potential applications in numerous medical areas, particularly in the realms of cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, infectious diseases, and neurological disorders.
Drug Efficacy and Toxicity: Under this heading, the impact of drugs on target molecules, their therapeutic effects, and possible toxic effects are examined. The interactions of drugs with target molecules, receptor theories, and the biochemical effects of drugs are investigated.
Molecular Basis of Drug Metabolism: This category examines how drugs are metabolized and biotransformed within the organism. It explores how drugs are metabolized in the liver and other tissues and how this metabolism affects pharmacokinetics.
Drug Interactions and Pharmacokinetic Assessments: This category addresses potential interactions between drugs when used together and how pharmacokinetic profiles are evaluated. Drug interactions, pharmacokinetic parameters, and dosage adjustments are discussed.
Drug Discovery and Development: This category deals with the discovery, development, and clinical trials of new drugs. It covers drug design, the development of new drugs based on natural products, and the use of new technologies in these processes.
New Technologies in Drug Metabolism: This heading explores the latest technological advancements and methods used in the fields of pharmacology and drug metabolism. It investigates the applications of metabolomics, proteomics, genetic analyses, and similar cutting-edge approaches in this field.
This special issue aims to provide a current and comprehensive resource for researchers in the fields of pharmacology and drug metabolism. Contributing authors have the opportunity to share the latest scientific developments and research in these areas, contributing to the advancement of the field. We invite you to share your important work in this special issue ("Pharmacology and Drug Metabolism"). Your contributions will enrich scientific knowledge in this field and inform future research.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
