A special section on the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and drug interaction potential of natural products is being planned for publication in the October 2020 issue of Drug Metabolism and Disposition.

The submission deadline is April 1, 2020.

Original research manuscripts pertaining to the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and drug interaction potential of natural products, including (but not limited to) herbal and other botanical dietary supplements, traditional medicines, and foods, will be considered for this special section. Manuscripts describing innovative in vitro/ex vivo, bioanalytical, -omics, modeling, and/or clinical research approaches to advance the understanding of the ADME properties, in vivo disposition, or drug interaction potential of these complex products in humans are highly encouraged. Manuscripts describing animal models to address any of these topics may be considered and must clearly demonstrate the translation to humans. Authors must refer to the journal Instructions to Authors, where specific guidelines on research articles are located under the heading “Herbal Medicines/Natural Products”.

Review articles addressing any aspects of the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, or drug interaction potential of natural products will also be considered. Proposals for such articles should be sent to the guest editor, Mary Paine (mary.paine@wsu.edu), for approval prior to submission.
