Journal of Xenobiotics

The Journal of Xenobiotics publishes original studies concerning the beneficial (pharmacology) and detrimental effects (toxicology) of xenobiotics in all organisms. A xenobiotic (“stranger to life”) is defined as a chemical that is not usually found at significant concentrations or expected to reside for long periods in organisms. In addition to man-made chemicals, natural products could also be of interest if they have potent biological properties, special medicinal properties or that a given organism is at risk of exposure in the environment. Topics dealing with abiotic- and biotic-based transformations in various media (xenobiochemistry) and environmental toxicology are also of interest. Areas of interests include the identification of key physical and chemical properties of molecules that predict biological effects and persistence in the environment; the molecular mode of action of xenobiotics; biochemical and physiological interactions leading to change in organism health; pathophysiological interactions of natural and synthetic chemicals; development of biochemical indicators including new “-omics” approaches to identify biomarkers of exposure or effects for xenobiotics.

Journal of Xenobiotics是一个国际型开放获取期刊。它主要发表关于外源性物质对生物体有益及有害特性研究的最新研究成果。 Journal of Xenobiotics发表了有关异生素对所有生物体的有益（药理学）和有害影响（毒理学）的原创研究。期刊对文章篇幅没有限制，但是我们希望研究型文章可以提供完整的实验细节和研究方法，以便重现结果。
