Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI) remains a major problem in drug development.

Simulation of in vitro Dissolution and Degradation of Orntide-loaded PLGA Microspheres
An in vitro dissolution model has been developed to describe the drug release from orntide-loaded PLGA microspheres.

Utility of Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Absorption Modeling to Predict the Impact of Salt-to-Base Conversion on Prasugrel HCl Product Bioequivalence in the Presence of Proton Pump Inhibitors
Prasugrel HCl may convert to prasugrel base during manufacturing or storage. It was reported that formulations with different ratios of salt to base were bioequivalent in healthy subjects...

Prediction of Intracellular Exposure Bridges the Gap Between Target- and Cell-Based Drug Discovery
Inadequate target exposure is a major cause of high attrition in drug discovery. Here, we show that a label-free method for quantifying the intracellular bioavailability (Fic) of drug molecules…

Synthesis and pharmacodynamics of ibuprofen-1-acetoxyethyl ester
Ibuprofen(IBU) and its derivatives are widely used in treating many diseases, such as depression, glomerulonephritis, fever caused by common cold or influenza, and rheumatoid arthritis.

In vitro–in vivo and pharmacokinetic evaluation of solid lipid nanoparticles of furosemide using Gastroplus™
In this work, we conducted pharmacokinetic studies and established the in vitro and in vivo correlation (IVIVC) of furosemide (FRS) loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (FSLN).

Prediction of efficacy for conversion from adjunctive therapy to monotherapy with eslicarbazepine acetate 800 mg once daily for partial-onset epilepsy.
Eslicarbazepine acetate (ESL) is a once-daily (QD) oral antiepileptic drug (AED) indicated for partial-onset seizures (POS). Clinical studies of gradual conversion to ESL 1,200 and 1,600 mg QD...

Applications of Mechanistic Modeling and Simulations in Compound and Dosage Forms Selections
Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling and simulation techniques have been adopted in the pharmaceutical industry to aid in compound selection and dosage form development in recent years.

Population Pharmacokinetic Analysis of Compound A and Its Metabolite in Healthy Subjects and Patients with Diabetic Nephropathy
Compound A is a potent and highly selective non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonist being developed for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy and other potential indications.

Exploring the Feasibility of Biowaiver Extension of BCS Class III Drugs with Site-Specific Absorption Using Gastrointestinal Simulation Technology
The US Food and Drug Administration, World Health Organization and European Medicines Agency have allowed biowaiver for some BCS class III drugs, but shortened the requisite dissolution time of BCS...

The impact of reduced gastric acid secretion on dissolution of salts of weak bases in the fasted upper gastrointestinal lumen: Data in biorelevant media and in human aspirates.
To propose media for simulating the intragastric environment under reduced gastric acid secretion in the fasted state at three levels of simulation of the gastric environment and evaluate their...

Substrate and method dependent inhibition of three ABC-transporters (MDR1, BCRP, and MRP2)
Drug transport and drug-drug interactions (DDI) with human ABC transporters are generally investigated in mammalian cell lines or inverted membrane vesicles from insect cells (Sf9) overexpressing the transporter of interest.
