Some factors that can lead to poor peak shape in hydrophilic interaction chromatography, and possibilities for their remediation
Some factors which present difficulties for obtaining good peak shape in hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) were studied.
Identification of Novel Potential Inhibitors of Aldose Reductase: A Multistage Computational Filtering Approach
The aldose reductase (AR) is a rate limiting enzyme in the polyol pathway, for the conversion of glucose to sorbitol. The identification of a potent inhibitor is the need of the hour.
A Workflow to Investigate Exposure and Pharmacokinetic Influences on High-Throughput in Vitro Chemical Screening Based on Adverse Outcome Pathways
Adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) link adverse effects in individuals or populations to a molecular initiating event (MIE) that can be quantified using in vitro methods.
Comparison of biorelevant simulated media mimicking the intestinal environment to assess the solubility profiles of poorly soluble drugs
During the discovery stage in lead identification/optimization, compounds are characterized for their solubilities in biorelevant media and these data are often used to model the in vivo behavior of...
Using Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling for in vitro – in vivo Extrapolation to Predict Chemical Exposure
Mechanistic absorption and physiologically based pharmacokinetic (MA/ PBPK) models are useful tools in risk assessment. These models incorporate complex processes related to a compound’s disposition...
Absorption, Metabolism, Excretion, and the Contribution of Intestinal Metabolism to the Oral Disposition of [14C]Cobimetinib, a MEK Inhibitor, in Humans
The pharmacokinetics, metabolism, and excretion of cobimetinib, a MEK inhibitor, were characterized in healthy male subjects (n = 6) following a single 20 mg (200 μCi) oral dose.
Solidified SNEDDS of loratadine: Formulation using hydrophilic and hydrophobic grades of Aerosil®, pharmacokinetic evaluations and in vivo-in silico predictions using GastroPlus
In the present study, hydrophilic and hydrophobic grades of Aerosil® were employed as adsorbents to develop a solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (S-SNEDDS) of loratadine and were...
A canine biorelevant dissolution method for predicting in vivo performance of orally administered sustained release matrix tablets
Preclinical species are a crucial component of drug development, but critical differences in physiology and anatomy need to be taken into account when attempting to extrapolate to humans or between species.
The potential of immobilized artificial membrane chromatography to predict human oral absorption
The potential of immobilized artificial membrane (IAM) chromatography to estimate human oral absorption (%HOA) was investigated.
Elucidating Differences in the Hepatotoxic Potential of Tolcapone and Entacapone With DILIsym(®), a Mechanistic Model of Drug-Induced Liver Injury.
Tolcapone and entacapone are catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors developed as adjunct therapies for treating Parkinson's disease.
Biomarker exposure-response relationships as the basis for rational dose selection: Lessons from a simulation exercise using a selective COX-2 inhibitor
An exposure-response model was used to characterize the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship of GW406381, a COX-2 inhibitor, based on data from ex vivo...
Development of a unified dissolution and precipitation model and its use for the prediction of oral drug absorption
Drug absorption is a complex process involving dissolution and precipitation, along with other kinetic processes.
Application of Cellular Permeability Simulation and PBPK Models to Capture
In this GastroPlus™ User Group webinar, we will discuss the validation of passive permeability estimates in MembranePlus™ based on molecular structure alone for a library of diverse compounds and how...
