iochemical Pharmacology is devoted to publishing original work on thepharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of drugs and nontherapeuticxenobiotics. Its audience are scientists engaged in drug discovery and in identifying drug mechanisms of action. All areas of pharmacology are represented in the journal, including drug metabolism and kinetics. It is of particular value to those interested in anti-inflammatory drugs, cancerchemotherapy, neuropharmacology and cardiovascular pharmacology.
While particular emphasis is placed on reporting findings that relate to the actions and metabolism of drugs and toxic substances at the biochemical and molecular levels, submissions in the areas of behavioral andphysiological pharmacology and toxicology are also encouraged if they describe studies directed at defining mechanisms of action.
Reports based on experiments conducted with mixtures, plant or animal extracts will not be considered for publication unless the chemical structures and concentrations of all substances are known and the compounds are obtained from commercial suppliers.
