Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pharmacokinetic-driven drug formulation is gaining more and more importance in novel drug research and development programs. One of the reasons for this is to be found in the physico-chemical properties of the active ingredient candidates, where mainly poor solubility and/or absorption is a challenge. Another possible reason can be related to various protein and enzyme related PK problems, such as increased plasma protein binding, metabolism and active transport mechanisms. In the face of these problems, there are already many formulation solutions with a new approach available, the knowledge and repertoire of which we would like to enrich with the present special issue. In the Special Issue of Pharmaceuticals ‘Pharmacokinetic Processes of Active Substance in Drug Formulations’, in addition to the new drug formulation and drug delivery systems, we are also expecting the presentation of novel in vitro, in vivo and ex vivo test methods or mechanistic approaches that can be linked to ADME processes, which present dissolution, drug release kinetics, in vitro/ex works related to vivo permeability studies specifically for formulation strategy or test systems for alternative drug delivery routes for drug targeting, smart drug delivery.

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. Pharmaceuticals 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 2900 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
