Factors Affecting Pharmacokinetics of Drugs


There are four factors that will influence the pharmacokinetic drugs test: water-solubility; fat-soluble; dissociation degree and molecular weight.
Pharmacokinetic is a quantitative study of drugs in the body absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of the law.  The use of mathematical principles and methods to explain the plasma concentration with time changes in a discipline.
Water is the carrier of drug transport and the body of the medium. Drugs in the absorption site must have a certain degree of water solubility in a dissolved state, so that can be absorbed. Therefore, the drug is required to have certain water solubility. Polarity (the introduction of polar groups can increase water solubility), crystal form (the impact of drug bioavailability is more and more attention), the melting point of the solubility, thus affecting the absorption of drugs, affecting bioavailability.
Cell membrane of the double lipid layer structure requires a certain lipid-soluble drugs can penetrate the cell membrane. Come in (some fat-soluble), get out (some water-soluble).  Dissolve easily dissociable groups such as carboxyl groups. Through the modification of chemical structure, the introduction of fat-soluble groups or side chains, can improve the drug fat-soluble, promote drug absorption and improve bioavailability.
Factors Affecting Pharmacokinetics of Drugs
Drugs can only pass through biofilm in molecular form. Biofilm itself with a charge, phase suction, into the come, get out; reprimand: not come. Ions with hydration, the drug molecule volume increases, cannot pass through the biofilm microspores. The greater the dissociation is, the worse the absorption.
The degree of dissociation is related to the dissociation constant of the drug and the pH of the absorption site. The dissociation degree of the same drug in different parts is different and the degree of absorption is different. Weak acid drug dissociation in the stomach is small, easy to be absorbed; in the intestine, weak alkaline drug dissociation is small, so it is the weak alkaline drug absorption site.
Strong acid and alkali drugs and ionic drugs are difficult to absorb, as well as difficult to come out after entering the cell.
Excretion is the process of drug excreted from the body. The kidneys are the main organs of drug excretion. Protracted by the kidneys excreted drugs in the renal tubules can be reabsorption, so that the role of drug extension. Re-absorption by the urine pH effect, the application of acidic or alkaline drugs, changes the pH of the urine, can reduce renal tubular reabsorption of drugs.
Medicilon’s pharmacokinetics department offers the clients a broad spectrum of high quality of services in the areas of in vitro ADME. With SPF animal laboratory, Medicilon can provide you, such as mice, rats, rabbits and other different species of animal pharmacokinetics experiments and the route of administration and the way is also a variety of intravenous, gavage, subcutaneous and abdominal wait.

What is preclinical testing?

In the process of  preclinical testing  of a compound or biological agent into a drug, the compound involved must go through the testing phase. First, we need to identify potential targets that can treat the disease. Then, a variety of compounds or preparations are screened out. Any compound that has shown potential as a drug for the treatment of this disease needs to be tested for toxicity before clinical testing to reduce the possibility of injury. preclinical testing What is the basis of preclinical testing? According to US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, a series of tests are required before a new drug is approved for use. In the first stage, basic research determines a hypothetical target for the treatment of a certain disease, and then screens small molecules or biological compounds to discover any substance with the potential to treat the disease. Then, a  preclinical research  phase followed, before which, as described above, the potential tox...

Inventory of the three major in vitro pharmacokinetic research methods

  The metabolic properties of a compound are an essential factor in whether or not it can be used as a drug in the clinical setting, so pharmacokinetic studies of newly synthesized compounds are required in drug development. In vitro incubation with liver microsomes, recombinant CYP450 enzyme lines, and in vitro incubation with hepatocytes are some of the more common in vitro drug metabolism methods. 1. In vitro incubation method with liver microsomes The metabolic stability and metabolic phenotypes of candidate compounds in different species of liver microsomes are good predictors of the metabolic properties of compounds in vivo. They are practical tools for evaluating candidate compounds in the pre-development phase of drug development. Liver microsomes include rat liver microsomes, human liver microsomes, canine liver microsomes, monkey liver microsomes, and mouse liver microsomes. In in vitro incubation of the liver, microsomes are the "gold standard" for in vitro d...

Enzyme Activity Assay Service

  Enzymatic assay Lance Assay Alphascreen Assay Z’-LYTE Assay Adapta Assay Kinase-Glo Assay ADP-Glo Assay Ligand Binding Assay ELISA Assay HTRF Assay Enzyme activity assays  are laboratory methods for measuring enzymatic activity. They are vital for the study of enzyme kinetics and enzyme inhibition. Enzyme units : Amounts of enzymes can either be expressed as molar amounts, as with any other chemical, or measured in terms of activity, in enzyme units. Medicilon provides various  enzyme activity assays  for  kinases , phosphatases, proteinases, deacetylase, peptidase, esterase, and other enzymes. Our line of well-characterized immunoassays and biochemical kits ensures accurate and reproducible results. Enzyme is a  large category of bio-molecules  that catalyze various biological processes including metabolic processes, cellular signaling and regulation, cell division and apoptosis.
