Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B (APSB) was founded with the goal of creating a global high-level forum centred around drug discovery and pharmaceutical research/application.
APSB was included by Chemical Abstracts in 2011, accepted by PubMed Central in 2015, indexed by Science Citation Index in 2017 and has evolved to become one of the most important international journals in the field of pharmaceutical sciences.
APSB is a monthly journal, in English, which publishes significant original research articles, rapid communications and high-quality reviews of recent advances in all areas of pharmaceutical sciences — including pharmacology, pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, natural products, pharmacognosy, pharmaceutical analysis and pharmacokinetics.
Articles of interest in this issue include:
Evolution of drug regulations and regulatory innovation for anticancer drugs in China by Yang Liu, Ning Zhang, Cuicui Xie et al. (
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apsb.2022.08.004). This review is an overview of newly approved cancer drugs in China between 2005 and 2021, as a powerful illustration of how revolution in drug regulation has influenced the drug R&D in China.
Repurposing of berbamine hydrochloride to inhibit Ebola virus by targeting viral glycoprotein by Dongrong Yia, Quanjie Lia, Han Wang et al. (
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apsb.2022.05.023). Through structure-based virtual screening, this study reported that a natural compound berbamine hydrochloride can disrupt GPcl–NPC1 interaction, and strongly inhibited EBOV replication
in vitro and
in vivo.
Landscape of DILI-related adverse drug reaction in China Mainland by Jiabo Wang, Haibo Song, Feilin Ge et al. (
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apsb.2022.04.019). This study provides a whole epidemiological picture of L-ADR in mainland China and concluded that L-ADR has a persistent increase. This work provides a powerful tool to mine the potential hepatotoxic drugs in the future.
