分子藥理學歡迎報告藥物作用或分子水平選擇性毒性新信息的手稿供審議。編輯們鼓勵投稿闡明分子機制。這些可能包括，例如，受體、信號、途徑、酶、通道和轉錄機制的研究。同時，也鼓勵報告開發具有廣泛適用性或產生新分子見解的新試劑或新技術的研究。雖然分子藥理學試圖發表具有很強的生物實驗成分的研究，該雜志也歡迎涉及與藥物設計或藥物作用相關的分子建模的研究。

Molecular Pharmacology welcomes manuscripts for consideration that report new information on drug action or selective toxicity at the molecular level. The Editors encourage submissions that shed light upon molecular mechanisms. These may include, for example, studies of receptors, signaling, pathways, enzymes,channels, and transcriptional mechanisms. Studies that report the development of novel reagents or technologies that are of broad applicability or yield new molecular insights are also encouraged. While Molecular Pharmacology attempts to publish studies with a strong component of biological experimentation, the journal also welcomes studies that involve molecular modeling relevant to drug design or drug action.
