Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to publish articles addressing State-of-the-Art Drug Metabolism in Europe.
Metabolism is one of the most important processes in the body. It enables the body to produce energy, but also to convert exogenous substances such as drugs into compounds that can be removed. A patient’s health status, polytherapy, as well as genetic factors have a significant impact on the rate of drug metabolism.
Therefore, this Special Issue is devoted to drug metabolism in a wide sense, including how genetic changes, hormonal changes, patient health status or additionally ingested compounds affect metabolic rate. Other topics of interest include analytical methods used to determine metabolites and parent compounds, as well as the selection of biological matrices for determining the concentration of analytes in the body and the determination of procedures that should be followed in order to make the determination of compounds reliable.
