The Role of Pharmacokinetics in Generic Drugs

Drug Patent Watch

Pharmacokinetics (PK) plays a crucial role in the development and approval of generic drugs. PK studies help ensure that generic drugs are bioequivalent to their brand-name counterparts, meaning they have similar absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) profiles.

Evaluation of Systemic and Brain Pharmacokinetic Parameters for Repurposing Metformin Using Intravenous Bolus Administration [Drug Discovery and Translational Medicine]

ASPET

Yet, the absence of established systemic and brain pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters at relevant pre-clinical doses presents a significant knowledge gap. Our findings emphasize the importance of metformin dose selection based on pharmacokinetic parameters for pre-clinical pharmacological studies.

Pharmacokinetics of panobinostat: Inter-species difference in metabolic stability [Metabolism, Transport, and Pharmacogenetics]

ASPET

The objective of this study was to examine the in vitro metabolic stability of panobinostat in different matrices and assess the influence of that metabolic stability on the in vivo pharmacokinetics and CNS delivery of panobinostat.

Preclinical systemic pharmacokinetics, dose-proportionality, and CNS distribution of the ATM inhibitor WSD0628, a novel radiosensitizer for the treatment of brain tumors [Metabolism, Transport, and Pharmacogenetics]

ASPET

Efficacy of radiosensitizers for brain tumors may be influenced by a lack of effective drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The objective of this study was to evaluate the systemic pharmacokinetics and mechanisms that influence the CNS distribution of WSD0628, a novel and potent ATM inhibitor, in the mouse.

Predicting the Intravenous Pharmacokinetics of Covalent Drugs in Animals and Humans

Covalent Modifiers

4c00776 30 covalent drugs were used to assess clearance (CL) prediction reliability in animals and humans. CL predictions with allometric scaling were less robust compared to in vitro drug metabolism methods; the best results were obtained using the fu-corrected intercept model.

Translational pharmacokinetic-toxicodynamic model of myelosuppression for dose optimization in combination chemotherapy of capecitabine and oxaliplatin from rats to humans [Drug Discovery and Translational Medicine]

ASPET

Mathematical modeling combining pharmacokinetics (PK) and toxicodynamics (TD) is a promising approach for optimizing dosing strategies and reducing toxicity. In addition to dose determination, these data will lay the groundwork for advancing drug development processes in oncology.

Enthalpy-driven pharmacokinetics

Molecular Design

Drug design is a multi-objective endeavor. Other objectives such as controllability of exposure are much less easily defined and this means that drug design is indirect. Some objectives such as maximization of affinity against target(s) and minimization of affinity against anti-targets are easily defined.
