In preclinical respiratory studies, traditional methods like plethysmography often require animal restraint and extensive acclimation, limiting their ability to capture dynamic respiratory changes. To overcome these challenges, IPS Therapeutique Inc. validated a novel telemetry-based technique for continuous monitoring of intrapleural pressure and respiratory patterns in conscious, freely ...
Introduction PEGylation, the process of attaching polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains to therapeutic molecules, has become a cornerstone in pharmaceutical development. This technique improves the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of drugs, enhancing their stability, solubility, and circulation time while reducing immunogenicity. Since its first FDA-approved application in 1990 with ...
This diversity allows for the metabolism of a wide range of compounds, influencing the pharmacological effects and toxicity of drugs. Role in Drug Metabolism The role of cytochrome P450 in drug metabolism is two-fold: it can either detoxify drugs or convert them into active metabolites. The metabolic pathways involving CYP ...
Additionally, in silico screening techniques, such as molecular docking, have become invaluable tools in predicting how potential drugs may interact with nuclear receptors at a molecular level. These computational methods can significantly reduce the time and resources needed in the early stages of drug development. ...
Distribution describes the dispersion of the drug throughout the body. This involves assessing how a drug binds to plasma proteins and how it penetrates various tissues. ...
