ADME

ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion) studies are conducted during the early discovery, lead optimisation, and preclinical development phases. These testing results are to provide information for characterisation and ranking of the compounds based on their properties, and to predict their fate after administration into the human body. At clinical development, the same information related to pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD), is collected to enable and confirm effective use of the candidate drugs.

In the lead optimization or ADME predication stage of a drug-discovery program, comprehensive in vitro ADME profiling needs to be complimented with animal experiments to provide deeper insights into drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK). All of the ADME screening and properties validation services in our experimental platform include metabolic profiling, stability, metabolite identification, bioavailability screens, CYP450 inhibition and induction assays, drug-drug-interactions, quantitative bioanalysis, drug transporters, etc.
