"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.
