The development of sophisticated in vitro and in vivo models for studying drug metabolism and toxicity is on the rise, as researchers seek better predictive tools for clinical outcomes.
Declining or Waning
- Natural Product Drug Interactions:
Research on the pharmacokinetic interactions involving natural products has decreased, possibly due to a growing emphasis on synthetic drug development and biopharmaceuticals. - General Toxicogenomics:
While still relevant, the broad application of toxicogenomics in drug metabolism studies has seen a reduction in publications, as researchers increasingly focus on specific mechanisms and pathways. - Traditional Pharmacokinetics:
The traditional approaches to pharmacokinetics are being overshadowed by novel methodologies and advanced technologies, leading to fewer publications centered on classical pharmacokinetic principles. - Basic Mechanisms of Drug Resistance:
Studies focused solely on the basic mechanisms of drug resistance, without integration into broader clinical or translational contexts, have become less frequent as the field shifts towards targeted therapies and personalized medicine.
