About Medicines

Aims

Medicines (ISSN 2305-6320) is an international, peer-reviewed, and open-access journal aimed at disseminating cutting-edge research in the field of drug discovery and clinical application. This journal welcomes manuscripts covering a wide range of aspects, including the search for target molecules (e.g., receptors), specificity, side effects, hormesis (bimodal actions), emergence of resistance during long-term administration, potentiation by combinational treatment with more than two drugs, and factors that modify its pharmacological actions (such as sex differences, aging, environmental factors, and physiological fluids).

Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Full details must be provided when publishing an experiment so that the results can be reproduced.

Scope

The following items are suggested (lined up alphabetically):

• Clinical application of drugs
• Combination effects of more than two drugs
• Drug development
• Hormesis
• Identification of the target molecule of the drug
• Modulation factors of drugs (such as aging, sex, microenvironment, and physiological fluids)
• Overcoming drug tolerance
• Pharmacodynamics
• Pharmacokinetics
• Specificity and adverse effects of drugs
