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.

Analyzing Oxygen Atom Distribution in FDA‐Approved Drugs to Enhance Drug Discovery Strategies

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Analysis of prevalence of ring, nonring, sp 3 -, and sp 2 -hybridized oxygen in approved drugs. This work presents a comprehensive analysis of oxygen atoms in approved drugs, aiming to streamline drug design and discovery efforts. In approved drugs, majority of oxygen atoms are present within 4 from the COM of the molecule.

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.
