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 ...
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) combine potent small-molecule drugs with monoclonal antibodies for targeted cancer therapy. A major challenge is loading enough drug onto each antibody without compromising solubility or circulation time. Introducing polyethylene glycol (PEG) linkers between the antibody and drug payload can address this. PEG is hydrophilic, biologically inert, and FDA‐recognized ...
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 ...
In the realm of pharmacology and drug development, the assessment of drug permeability is essential. One of the most widely recognized in vitro models for evaluating the intestinal absorption of compounds is the Caco-2 permeability assay. This assay plays a pivotal role in understanding how drugs are absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and aids in predicting their bioavailability. Background ...
Introduction Cytochrome P450 (CYP) refers to a family of enzymes that play a fundamental role in the metabolism of various substances within the body, particularly drugs, toxins, and endogenous compounds. These enzymes are crucial for the detoxification processes in the liver and affect the pharmacokinetics of numerous medications. Understanding the function and importance of cytochrome P450 is ...
Understanding the metabolic stability of potential drug candidates is paramount in the realm of pharmaceutical development. S9 metabolic stability assays provide critical insights into how a compound behaves within biological systems, especially concerning its metabolism, stability, and overall pharmacokinetics. At the core of S9 metabolic stability is the S9 fraction, which is a liver extract ...
In the realm of drug discovery, the search for innovative therapies often leads to new paradigms. One such paradigm that has gained significant traction in recent years is the development of PROTAC (Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras) technology. This groundbreaking approach unlocks new potential in targeting previously “undruggable” proteins, paving the way for transformative therapies ...
The quest for effective therapeutics begins long before a drug reaches clinical trials. One of the cornerstones of this process is drug screening in animal models, which plays a pivotal role in evaluating the safety and efficacy of potential treatments. Animal models offer researchers valuable insights that cannot be obtained through in vitro studies alone, bridging the gap between laboratory ...
Compounds of phosphorus play a pivotal role in various fields, notably pharmaceuticals and industrial chemistry. Their unique chemical properties, such as reactivity and ability to form diverse structures, make them invaluable in drug synthesis and other industrial applications. This article delves into the chemical characteristics of phosphorus compounds, their applications in drug development, ...
In the realm of pharmaceutical research and development, ADME testing services play a pivotal role in evaluating the pharmacokinetics of drug candidates. ADME stands for Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion, which are critical processes that determine the fate of a drug within the body. Effectively assessing these parameters is essential for ensuring the safety, efficacy, and ...
