The journal publishes research on the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of drugs and other xenobiotics, highlighting methodologies to investigate these processes in various biological systems. - Drug Metabolism and Toxicology:
A significant focus is placed on the metabolic pathways of drugs, including the role of cytochrome P450 enzymes and other metabolic processes, as well as the associated toxicity and safety profiles. - Predictive Modeling and Simulation:
XENOBIOTICA supports the use of in silico and physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling to predict human pharmacokinetics and drug-drug interactions, thereby facilitating more effective drug development. - Comparative Metabolism:
The journal explores species differences in drug metabolism, providing insights into the relevance of animal models in predicting human outcomes, which is critical for regulatory submissions. - Biotransformation Workshops and Reports:
The journal includes meeting reports and special editions related to biotransformation workshops, fostering collaboration and dissemination of cutting-edge research in drug metabolism.
Trending and Emerging
- Machine Learning and AI in Drug Development:
Recent publications have increasingly focused on the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence for predicting ADME properties and drug interactions, showcasing the potential for these technologies to enhance efficiency in drug development. - Precision Medicine and Pharmacogenomics:
There is a growing emphasis on studies that examine genetic polymorphisms and their impact on drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, aligning with the broader trend towards personalized medicine. - Advanced Drug Delivery Systems:
Research on novel drug formulations and delivery methods, particularly those that enhance bioavailability and patient compliance, is on the rise, indicating a shift towards practical applications in clinical settings. - Integration of In Vitro and In Vivo Models:
An emerging trend is the integration of in vitro and in vivo studies to provide more comprehensive insights into drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, reflecting a desire for more translational research that can inform clinical practices.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Toxicology Studies:
There has been a decrease in the publication of traditional toxicology studies that do not leverage modern methodologies or predictive modeling, as the field moves towards more integrated and innovative approaches. - Non-Pharmacokinetic Studies:
Papers focusing on non-pharmacokinetic aspects of drug action, such as purely pharmacodynamic studies without a pharmacokinetic context, are becoming less common, indicating a shift towards more comprehensive studies that integrate both aspects. - Basic In Vitro Studies:
The journal has seen a decline in basic in vitro studies that do not contribute new insights into drug mechanisms or metabolism. The emphasis is now on more complex models that better simulate in vivo conditions.
