MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR IN CHIEF

Dear Scientists,

It is our pleasure to introduce you to the 2nd issue of 2026 for EMU Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences. We have had the joy of receiving scientific manuscript submissions from many parts of the world.

Mainly, a formulation study on vonoprazan tablet preparation, synthesis and biological activity investigation of novel N-(Aryl)-3-(N-benzylsulfamoyl)benzamides, hepatoprotective effects of linalool on hepatic injury, and a phytochemical Study on the fruits of Vitex agnus-castus L. have constituted this issue’s research manuscripts. Moreover, a review on coumarin-piperazine hybrid drug design is expected to have attention of scientists in the relevant field. We extend our gratitude to the researchers who shared their valuable scientific work with us.

As a member of ‘DergiPark’ Akademik, an establishment under the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye (TÜBİTAK), EMU Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences continues its journey with a transparent peer-review and publication process of scientific studies in diverse fields related to pharmaceutical sciences. The journal will continue to serve and promote global dissemination of pharmaceutical research, providing a platform for scientists worldwide.
