Overview

Pharmacology is the science of how drugs and other chemical agents interact with living systems. It examines the mechanisms by which compounds produce their effects, how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes, and eliminates them, and how dose relates to both therapeutic benefit and toxicity. The discipline bridges chemistry, physiology, and clinical medicine, underpinning the discovery, design, and rational use of medicines. Within the journal's translational research scope, pharmacology connects laboratory findings to potential clinical application. Published work spans network pharmacology approaches that predict therapeutic targets, including a study modeling beta-sitosterol in diabetic retinopathy and another exploring an essential-oil formulation for anxiety and melasma; structure-activity analyses such as xanthones from mangosteen as cyclin-dependent kinase 4 inhibitors; and preclinical and natural-product investigations including the hypolipidemic effects of Momordica charantia compared with atorvastatin, saponins from Dialium guineense, and the efficacy of DHA and EPA on serum triglycerides. Reviews on drug design across in silico, in vitro, and in vivo methods, preclinical cardiotoxicity testing, and psychopharmacology further reflect the field's breadth. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to pharmacology and its translation toward safe, effective therapeutic agents.
