Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will highlight studies centered on elucidating the biological processes and pathways that determine the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drug-like chemical agents in the living organism. More specifically, we are seeking submissions related to studies of chemical agents with a molecular mass of <500 Daltons. Of special interest, we are seeking original research articles or reviews that present intellectually exciting and innovative ideas, including systems modeling and simulation approaches, or that offer unexpected insights into the pharmacokinetics of small drug-like molecules. We will also consider more traditional molecular-level studies looking at the interaction of small molecules with transporters, enzymes, membranes, and other macromolecular components that determine the distribution and disposition of chemical agents in cells, tissues, and organs. Hypothesis-driven and mechanistic studies related to regulatory science, such as the measurement and prediction of drug–drug interactions, the establishment of in vitro–in vivo correlations, pharmacogenomics, interpatient variability, preclinical model systems (transgenic/knockout mice, isolated perfused organs, in vitro or in silico screening tools), or advanced computational approaches for modeling, simulating, or predicting pharmacokinetics at a multiscale level (from organelles to populations) are also welcome.

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. Pharmaceutics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
