Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics (DMPK) CRO

DMPK  or Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics is a major part of studies related to drugs often referred to as ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Elimination). It is concerned with the study of aspects of absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination of drug compounds which are administered through any route of administration.

Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics(DMPK) cro

Drug Metabolish and Pharmacokinetics are specific to drug discovery; drug properties such as route of administration, dose level, dose regimen and formulation, drug-drug interactions and specific populations are all tightly related to DMPK and are therefore measured by our experts. Our DMPK Department is dedicated to the understanding of the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drug candidates.

Meanwhile, non-human primate experimental platform and isotope platform for protein/antibody are certified by the Shanghai Government.

Available studies include:

  • Method development and validation (GLP & Non-GLP) 
  • Bioanalysis 
  • Pharmacokinetics (Tumor bearing rodents, Bioavailability, Crossover studies,  Cassette (N in 1) dosing and analysis, effects of gender on pharmacokinetics, BBB  penetration ) 
  • Stability in vehicles and plasma 
  • Drug interaction studies
  • In vitro metabolic stability
  • Prediction and identification of major metabolites

In vitro DMPK
High quality ADME data is essential to identify and help to address issues rapidly and early in the drug discovery, lead validation and optimization processes. The in vitro ADME service offers a portfolio of assays for investigating physicochemical properties, permeability, metabolism, drug-drug interactions (CYP inhibition, induction and phenotyping) and protein binding. These assays are offered either as a standalone services or to support our client sponsored medicinal chemistry programs.

In Vivo Pharmacokinetics
We can perform in vivo animal pharmacokinetic (PK) and other ADME studies in mice and rats in our CPCSEA approved AAALAC-accredited animal facility. We have a third party collaboration (CPCSEA approved facility) to perform pharmacokinetic studies in dogs.

A quantitative measure of drug exposure is necessary in order to interpret preclinical efficacy and toxicity studies. In a typical animal PK study, blood samples are obtained from animals at different time points following a single dose of a test compound. Plasma is harvested and subjected to bioanalysis. In an absolute bioavailability study of an orally administered drug, both oral and IV PK has to be performed. Relative oral bioavailability studies with different formulations can be carried out to enable selection of appropriate preclinical formulation for any compound. In toxicology studies, a satellite toxicokinetics group is included so as to assess the NOAEL (No Observable Adverse Effect Level) for any compound.

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...
