Introduction: Drug Metabolism and Toxicology Special Issue

Introduction to Special Issue

Although recent frameworks for test validation have emphasized utilization as a key component (e.g. Bachman & Palmer, 2010; Chapelle, 2012; Kane, 1992), what happens in the sometimes messy contexts where assessments are carried out is often not documented. This is perhaps because test developers are more focused on defining and operationalizing test constructs than on issues of implementation. ...

The selected papers have been extended, independently reviewed and represent insights and...

Editorial: Drug Metabolism and Toxicology

A drug metabolism study is an important aspect of the early drug discovery and development process [1,2]. In order to improve the understanding of drug efficacy and safety characteristics, it is desirable to investigate the drug metabolism in animals or humans [3,4]. These metabolism studies involve metabolic stability, cytochrome P-450 (CYP-450) induction or inhibition and metabolite identific...

Special Issue: Cancer Metabolism

This special issue is designed to present the latest research findings and developments in the field of cancer metabolism. Cancer is a complex disease and a common term used for more than 100 diseases, whereas metabolism describes a labyrinth of complex biochemical pathways in the cell. It is essential to understand metabolism in the context of cancer for the early detection of disease biomarke...
