Toxicon is affiliated with The Brazilian Society of Toxinology, The International Society on Toxinology and The North American Society of Toxinology.

Toxicon is dedicated to all areas related to natural toxins and publishes peer-reviewed manuscripts describing novel findings of broad interest and importance to the toxinology community.

Articles that further the understanding and knowledge of toxinology are particularly welcomed, as are review articles on toxinology. Submissions on Toxinology, Pharmacology, Immunology, Biochemistry, Health, Genetics and Molecular Biology (General) are particularly welcomed.

The journal publishes articles on the following topics:

original research on toxins derived from animals, plants or microorganisms

novel findings related to the chemical, pharmacological, toxicological or immunological properties of natural toxins

molecular biological studies of toxins and related genes from poisonous and venomous organisms that advance understanding of the role or function of toxins

the use of toxins as tools in studying biological processes

the translational application of toxins, for example as pharmacological tools, drugs or insecticides

venom and antivenom issues

clinical observations on poisoning and envenoming where a new therapeutic principle has been proposed or a decidedly superior clinical result has been obtained

epidemiological studies on envenoming or poisoning, provided they highlight a previously unrecognized medical problem or provide insight into the prevention or medical treatment of envenoming or poisoning

properly designed prospective community-based surveys



Toxicon does not accept submissions on retrospective surveys of hospital records, especially those lacking species identification, or articles describing well-known activities of venoms, such as antibacterial, anticancer or analgesic activities, without any attempt to define the mechanism of action or purify the active component(s).

Toxicon: X is the open access companion for Toxicon.
