Drug Bioavailability Studies from Medicilon

 Bioavailability is defined as the rate and the absorption of drug that reaches the biological system in an active form, capable of exerting the desired pharmacological effect, including its onset, intensity and duration of its action.

The Need for Bioavailability Studies

  • Bioavailability studies provide and estimate of the fraction of the orally administered dose that is absorbed into the systemic circulation when compared to the bioavailability for a solution, suspension, or intravenous dosage form that is completely available
  • Bioavailability studies provide other useful information that is important to establish dosage regimen and to support drug labeling, such as distribution and elimination characteristics of the drug
  • Bioavailability studies provide information regarding the performance of the formulation

Bioavailability Study Protocol

The aim of bioavailability study is to find out the dosage form influence on the biological performance of the drug, sensitivity to detect differences in the rate and extent of absorption.

  • Study Objective
  • Study Design
  • Methods of assessment of bioavailability plasma data and urine data acute pharmacological effect and clinical response
  • Analysis and Presentation of Data

Types of Bioavailability

  • Absolute Bioavailability – Absolute bioavailability of a drug in a formulation administered by an extravascular, including the oral route reaching the systemic circulation is the fraction of the same dose of the drug administered intravenously.
  • Relative Bioavailability – Relative bioavailability is a measure of the fraction of the given drug that is absorbed in the systemic circulation from a particular dose compared to a clinically proven standard dose of the same drug.

Assessment of Bioavailability

  • For assessing the bioavailability or clinical availability of a drug, its rate and extent of absorption and its first-pass metabolism must be evaluated.
  • These criteria are difficult or even impossible to quantify.
  • The method used to assess bioavailability depend upon the assumption that measurement of the drug concentration in a suitable body fluid, such as blood, plasma, serum, urine or sometime saliva, can be correlated with its clinical availability.

A Nickel-Catalyzed Reductive Alkylation of Aryl Bromides and Chlorides for Sp3-Sp2 Bond Formation

  In 2012, a nickel-catalyzed reductive alkylation method of aryl bromides and chlorides was reported. Under the optimized conditions, a variety of aryl and vinyl bromides as well as active aryl chloride can be reductively coupled with alkyl bromides in high yields. The protocols were highly functional-group tolerant and the reactions were not air or moisture sensitive. The reaction showed different chemoselectivity than conventional cross-coupling reactions. Substrates bearing both anelectrophilic and nucleophilic carbon resulted in selective coupling at the electrophilic carbon (R-X) and no reaction occurred at the nucleophilic carbon (R-[M]). The 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling, and in the past decade the progress in cross-coupling has not only had a significant impact on academic research but has also influenced the industrial synthetic application. The transition-metal-catalyzed union of nucleophilic organo-boronic acids with elect...

What is Toxicokinetics?

Toxicokinetics  is essentially the study of “how a substance gets into the body and what happens to it in the body”. Four processes are involved in toxicokinetics. The study of the kinetics (movement) of chemicals was originally conducted with pharmaceuticals and thus the term pharmacokinetics became commonly used. In addition, toxicology studies were initially conducted with drugs. However, the science of toxicology has evolved to include environmental and occupational chemicals as well as drugs. Toxicokinetics is thus the appropriate term for the study of the kinetics of all toxic substances. Frequently the terms  toxicokinetics ,  pharmacokinetics , or disposition may be found in the literature to have the same meaning. Disposition is often used in place of toxicokinetics to describe the time-course of movement of chemicals through the body (that is, how does the body dispose of a xenobiotic?). The disposition of a toxicant along with its’ biological reactivi...
