The Role of DMPK Studies in Drug Discovery

JANUARY 04, 2021

The Role of DMPK Studies in Drug Discovery

DMPK studies play a crucial role in drug discovery for optimizing the drug-like properties of compounds or drug molecules. They enable researchers to rank compounds based on favorable pharmacokinetic properties associated with absorption, distribution, clearance, elimination (ADME) and DDI potential. The in-vitro assays and in-vivo animal studies provide informat...

Designing a novel methodology for the development of a macrocyclic peptide molecule for both formulation development and pre-clinical studies

Background: An innovator company based in UK contacted us to support for the development of macro cyclic peptide molecule for pre-clinical studies. This peptide compound has been identified as potential candidate for the “Vaccination booster for elderly” under the therapeutic category of immunology. The synthesis of this compound posed many challenges such as...

Frequently asked questions

Why is ADME important?

ADME data helps scientists assess and optimize the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of the drug/NCE early in the drug discovery process. This helps to minimize late-stage failures in in-vivo safety and efficacy studies and clinical trials.

What is ADME testing?

ADME testing involves various in-vitro and in-vivo assays used to assess the properties that determine the Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion (ADME) of NCEs/ drug molecules.

What is the ADME process?

The ADME process involves the characterization of a drug by using different assays to determine its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion properties. This data is critical to prioritize and advance drug/ NCEs for future development.

What is DMPK in drug discovery?

DMPK is the study of the drug-like properties of new chemical entities(NCE)/drugs to understand its metabolism and pharmacokinetic profile.

What is the purpose of a PK study?

PK studies are an integral part of drug development. It helps to understand a new chemical entity (NCEs)/drug's pharmacokinetic behaviour in the body and involves the study of distribution, metabolism, clearance and bioavailability.

What is the difference between PK and PD?

Pharmacokinetics (PK) is the response of the body to the drug. Whereas Pharmacodynamics (PD) is the action of the drug on our body.

What are the recommended storage conditions for Oligonucleotides?

For a period of 6 weeks, Oligos can be stored in T10E1 buffer at 37°C and for the long term, Oligonucleotides can be dried down and stored with or without TE buffer at -20°C.

What is pharmacodynamics of a drug?

Pharmacodynamics (PD) of a drug refers to the biochemical and physiological effects caused by the drug/NCE in the body.
