Our pharmacokinetic (PK) studies in rats, mice and dogs help in understanding the characteristics of New Chemical entities (NCEs). Our PK studies are highly efficient in predicting the exposure while determining the dosage levels and frequencies for testing in preclinical in vivo animal disease efficacy models. We conduct pharmacokinetic (PK) studies for small and large molecules at our state-of-the-art laboratories and vivarium. Our DMPK scientists help understand the drug's AUC, clearance, half-life, the volume of distribution, Cmax, and Cmin in the body over time.

Emerging Trends in Solid State Phase Peptide Synthesis
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that are linked by peptide bonds. Peptides are highly specific and offer improved toxicological profiles. Peptides are produced using one of three synthesis methods: Solid phase peptide synthesis, liquid phase pepide synthesis or a hybrid approach.Solid-phase peptide synthesis(SPPS) is one of the most commonly used techniq...

Frequently asked questions
How do interspecies differences impact the extrapolation of in vivo PK data to human pharmacokinetics?
Differences in CYP enzyme expression, transporters, and physiology can lead to non-linear scaling. Allometric scaling and PBPK models help mitigate risk, but prediction uncertainty remains inherent.
How are toxicokinetic (TK) studies integrated with PK assessments during IND-enabling programs?
TK studies link systemic exposure with toxicity endpoints across dose levels, supporting safety margins. Differences between PK and TK profiles can arise due to saturation or non-linear kinetics.
How does protein binding influence pharmacokinetic interpretation and drug exposure?
Only the unbound fraction contributes to pharmacological activity and clearance. High protein binding can mask true exposure, and interspecies differences complicate translation to human PK predictions.
What challenges are encountered in quantifying low-exposure compounds in in vivo PK studies?
Low systemic exposure can fall below assay detection limits, impacting accuracy of PK parameters such as AUC and clearance. Aurigene addresses this with high-sensitivity LC-MS/MS platforms and optimized bioanalytical workflows.
How can integrated PK and bioanalytical capabilities improve data quality and turnaround in preclinical studies?
Tight integration ensures rapid sample processing, validated assays, and consistent data interpretation. Aurigene’s in-house PK and bioanalysis workflows help reduce variability and accelerate decision-making timelines.
