Overview

Yasushi Yamazoe is affiliated with Tohoku University in Japan and has contributed to research primarily in the fields of pharmacology, toxicology, and pharmaceutics, with a substantial focus also on biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Their publication record includes significant work in pharmacology, computational theory and mathematics, molecular biology, spectroscopy, and biochemistry.

The scientist's research largely centers on pharmacogenetics and drug metabolism, with additional attention to computational drug discovery methods, analytical chemistry and chromatography, eicosanoids and hypertension pharmacology, chemical reactions and isotopes, cancer treatment and pharmacology, as well as pesticide and herbicide environmental studies.

Yamazoe has published across multiple venues, notably contributing eleven papers to Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics and seven to Food Safety. Other venues include Molecular Pharmacology, Genes and Environment, and Toxicology Letters.

Recent papers include the following:

  • Prediction and Characterization of CYP3A4-mediated Metabolisms of Azole Fungicides: an Application of the Fused-grid Template* system (2020, Food Safety)
  • Combined Risk Assessment of Food-derived Coumarin with in Silico Approaches (2022, Food Safety)
  • Versatile applicability of a grid-based CYP3A4 Template to understand the interacting mechanisms with the small-size ligands; part 3 of CYP3A4 Template study (2020, Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics)
  • Development of template systems for ligand interactions of CYP3A5 and CYP3A7 and their distinctions from CYP3A4 template (2020, Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics)

The scientist frequently collaborates with co-authors including Kouichi Yoshinari, Norie Murayama, Takashi Yamada, Masahiro Tohkin, and Yoshiya Yamamura.

The main topics of Yamazoe's research can be summarized as follows:

  • Pharmacogenetics and Drug Metabolism
  • Computational Drug Discovery Methods
  • Analytical Chemistry and Chromatography
  • Eicosanoids and Hypertension Pharmacology
  • Chemical Reactions and Isotopes
  • Cancer Treatment and Pharmacology
  • Pesticide and Herbicide Environmental Studies

They have worked extensively on the CYP3A family of enzymes, focusing on the development and application of template systems to study ligand interactions and metabolic mechanisms. Their studies include both experimental and computational approaches to understand drug metabolism pathways.

Yamazoe's contributions span a combination of theoretical and applied research, touching areas from molecular pharmacology to environmental and chemical safety studies. This interdisciplinary approach is reflected in the diversity of journals and topics covered in their publication history.
