Pharmacological Research provides a rapid information exchange medium for specialists within the discipline of pharmacology. The journal
publishes papers on basic and applied pharmacological research and is proud of its rapid publication of accepted papers.
Invited and
unsolicited review articles are also featured.
Research Areas are:
• Biochemical and molecular pharmacology
• Cardiovascular
pharmacology
• Gastrointestinal pharmacology
• Clinical pharmacology, if addressing novel mechanisms of action
•
Respiratory tract pharmacology
• Urogenital tract pharmacology
• Pharmacology of tissue repair
• Neuropharmacology,
psychopharmacology, and neuroendocrinology
• Chemotherapy and cancer therapy
• Immunopharmacology
• Pharmacological
applications of genomics
• Pharmacology of aging
• PK/PD, if relevant to therapeutic effects
• Nutraceuticals,
if relevant to human disease
Note that ethnopharmacological studies generally do not fall into the scope of this journal. Exceptions
are made for papers addressing the mechanisms of actions or the clinical applications of worldwide-used natural substances. Clinical
studies on commercially-available nutraceuticals are also taken into consideration.
Immediate rejection criteria are:
1. Ethnopharmacological
papers, namely studies that deal with locally-consumed plants.
2. In vitro antioxidant activity of plant extracts and pure compounds
isolated from them.
3. Papers that describe pharmacological activities of plants which are not easily found worldwide, eg, Chinese
herbs.
4. Papers reporting pharmacological activities of novel compounds if no proper controls with known substances are performed.
5. Papers describing the pharmacological activities of natural compounds are considered only if they identify novel mechanisms of action.
In particular, Pharmacol Research does not publish papers that describe
• Single dose studies with very few animals, no dose-response
studies.
• In-vitro assays with single dose or very high dose, measuring only one endpoint.
• Repetition of a simple
bioassay for yet another extract or plant.
