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.

Medicilon’s Pharmacokinetics Services

Medicilon’s pharmacokinetics department offers the clients a broad spectrum of high quality of services in the areas of in vitro ADME, in vivo pharmacokinetics and bioanalysis services, ranging from small molecules to large molecules, such as protein and antibody. The animal species involved in our DMPK cro services are non-human primate, canine, mice, rat, rabbit and hamster. 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 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.

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...
