Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In pharmaceutical and biomedical research, the analytical investigation of bulk drugs, drug formulations, impurities, degradation products, and biological samples containing drugs and their metabolites is very important. The rapid increase in pharmaceutical industries, the development of new drugs and clinical research, and the need to improve the effectiveness and safety of pharmacotherapy have led to a rising demand for novel analytical methods. Consequently, the development and validation of analytical methods are essential to achieve reliable analytical data. Various analytical techniques, such as chromatographic, spectroscopic, electrophoretic, and electrochemical methods, can be applied to analyse drugs and their metabolites.
This Special Issue on the “Development and Validation of New Analytical Methods for the Determination of Drugs and Their Metabolites” will cover a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Validated methods for the analysis of drugs and their metabolites in biological samples;
- Pharmacokinetics;
- Metabolism studies;
- Detection of illicit/recreational drug use;
- Therapeutic drug monitoring;
- Toxicological analysis;
- Sports doping evaluation;
- Characterization and detection of new therapeutics;
- Development and validation of a stability-indicating method for the estimation of drugs in bulk and pharmaceutical formulations;
- Chromatographic analysis of natural products.
This Special Issue is supervised by Dr. Anna Petruczynik and assisted by our Topical Advisory Panel Member Dr. Karol Wróblewski (University of Rzeszów).

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
