"Nature Reviews Drug Discovery"

IUPHAR has formed a recent, informal collaboration with "Nature Reviews Drug Discovery". The first article by IUPHAR was published soon after the launch of the journal.

Fredholm, B. B., Fleming, W. W., Vanhoutte, P. M. and Godfraind, T. (2002). The role of pharmacology in drug discovery. Nature Rev. Drug Discov., 1, 237-248.


"Pharmacological Reviews"

IUPHAR has a longstanding, formal collaboration with "Pharmacological Reviews". The official reports from the IUPHAR Committee on Receptor Nomenclature and Drug Classification are published in the journal. The 1994 publications appeared as a special issue to coincide with the XIIIth International Congress of Pharmacology in Munich, Germany. The 2002 publications appeared as a special issue to celebrate 10 years of the publishing collaboration between IUPHAR and ASPET. A complimentary copy was given to each delegate at the XIVth World Congress of Pharmacology in San Francisco, USA. Single copies of these issues and reprint packages can be purchased by contacting ASPET.
