Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Viral infections cause significant morbidity and mortality across the globe in both humans and animals. As the world emerges from the latest viral pandemic, it is clear that considerable work remains to identify and characterize new antiviral treatments. We therefore invite submissions for our upcoming Special Issue on the pharmacology of antiviral drugs. This issue aims to explore and elucidate the intricate pharmacological aspects of antiviral medications. Researchers and experts are encouraged to contribute original research articles, reviews, and short communications that delve into various aspects of antiviral pharmacology. We welcome submissions that cover a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, molecular interactions between drugs and viral targets, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and the influence of host factors on drug efficacy. Additionally, we seek contributions addressing emerging topics such as drug resistance, novel drug delivery approaches, and advancements in medicinal chemistry to optimize antiviral treatment strategies in humans and animals.
Join us in advancing our understanding of antiviral pharmacology and shaping the future of antiviral therapy. Submit your contributions to this Special Issue to contribute to the global effort in combating viral infections and improving public health outcomes.
Dr. David E. Martin
Guest Editor
