DMPK和生物分析服务.webp

DMPK (Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics) considers how the drug is metabolized and processed by the body. DMPK services help support drug developers in understanding the Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion (ADME) processes of compounds or drugs. Pharmacokinetics (PK) is the study of the time course of the ADME of a drug, compound or new chemical entity (NCE) after its administration to the body. ADME test results can be used to predict how the drug will behave in the body and to assess its potential for drug-drug interactions (DDIs) with other drugs. Bioanalytical support plays a vital role during the lead optimization stages. Bioanalytical tools can play a significant role and impact the progress in drug discovery and development. Dramatic increases in investments in new modalities beyond traditional small and large molecule drugs, such as peptides, oligonucleotides, cell and gene therapy, mRNA, PROTAC and XDC, necessitated further innovations in bioanalytical and experimental tools for the characterization of their ADME and PK properties.

Gain access to an integrated network of facilities, including DMPK R&D centers across China and the United States. Medicilon’s DMPK&BA department offers a full range of discovery screening, IND-enabling and clinical drug metabolism, pharmacokinetic platforms and services in the following areas: in vitro ADMET, in vivo PK, MetID, Radiolabeled DMPK/ADME, BA, and non-GLP Tox services for both small, large molecule and new modality drugs such as proteins, antibodies, peptides, oligonucleotides, cell and gene therapy, mRNA, PROTAC and XDC. We have all common laboratory animal species such as non-human primates, dogs, minipigs, mice, rats, and rabbits available.

Additionally, Medicilon boasts extensive experience in PK studies of ophthalmic drugs and inhaled drug delivery systems, encompassing a range of animal species such as rodents, rabbits, dogs, and monkeys. We offer a variety of delivery methods to accommodate the diverse requirements of drug studies during the preclinical phase.

Case Study

1  Non-clinical ADME and Pharmacokinetics

TOP5300 is an orally active follicle stimulating hormone receptor allosteric agonist that provides a preferred treatment for over 16 million infertile women of reproductive age in low complexity methods or in high complexity methods. TOP5300 represents a new allosteric agonist with potential for ovarian stimulation in women. The safety profile demonstrated lack of toxicity. 

TOP5300 was evalsuated in standard ADME, including Cytochrome P450 inhibition, clearance and pharmacokinetic profiles. Toxicological evalsuations were performed in both rat and dog as the second species according to the guidance from FDA. These assays were performed by Medicilon.

2  Non-clinical ADME Studies

Aberrant activation of the PI3K pathway has been intensively targeted for cancer therapeutics for decades. In this work, researchers designed and synthesized a novel photocaged PI3K inhibitor 1, which could be readily activated by UV irradiation to release a highly potent PI3K inhibitor 2. 

To elucidate the difference in ADME properties between compounds 1 and 2, several studies were conducted including plasma protein binding assays, plasma, and liver microsomal stability assays as well as Caco-2 permeability assays. Both compounds showed high plasma protein binding (>98%) as well as a long plasma half-life (>120 min) in rat and dog. 

In the liver microsomal stability assay, compound 1 showed a much shorter half-life than the uncaged compound 2. In addition, compound 1 was much less permeable compared to compound 2 in the Caco-2 assay, which may be attributed to its largely increased molecular size. ADME studies of compounds 1 and 2 were conducted by Medicilon.

3 Non-clinical Pharmacokinetics and Plasma Stability Studies of PROTACs

ARD-2128 is a bona fide PROTAC AR degrader and strongly suppresses AR-regulated genes in a dose- and time-dependent manner in AR+ prostate cancer cell lines. The PK data show that ARD-2128 has a low clearance (1.2 mL/min/kg) and a moderate to high steady-state volume of distribution (Vss) of 2.7 L/kg. ARD-2128 exhibits a long half-life following both intravenous (2 mg/kg, i.v.) and oral administration (5 mg/kg, p.o.) with the T1/2s of 27.6 h and 18.8 h, respectively. ARD-2128 (5 mg/kg, p.o.) achieves 67% oral bioavailability in mice, effectively reduces AR protein and suppresses AR-regulated genes in tumor tissues after oral administration, leading to the effective inhibition of tumor growth in mice without signs of toxicity. PK studies were performed in Medicilon.

The plasma and microsomal stability data show that ARD-2128 has excellent plasma and microsomal stability in in mouse, rat, dog, monkey, and humans.The stability was studied in Medicilon.

4 Non-clinical Microsomal Metabolic Stability, hERG and Plasma Stability Studies of PROTACs

ARD-2585 is an exceptionally potent and orally active AR degrader. ARD-2585 is a promising androgen receptor (AR) degrader suitable for further extensive evalsuations for the treatment of AR+ prostate cancer and other human diseases in which AR plays a key role. 

Researchers evalsuated ARD-2585 for its liver microsomal stability in five different species (human, mouse, rat, dog, and monkey). ARD-2585 showed excellent stability in liver microsomes in all the five species with T1/2>120 min. The excellent mouse microsomal stability data are consistent with the slow clearance of ARD-2585 seen in the PK data in mice. The liver microsomal stability assay was performed by Medicilon. 

Researchers tested ARD-2585 for its plasma stability in five different species (human, mouse, rat, dog, and monkey). ARD-2585 showed excellent plasma stability in all 5 species with T1/2>120 min. The plasma stability assay was performed by Medicilon.

In vitro inhibition of the human ERG (the human ether-à-go-go-related gene) channel has been used as an important assay to assess potential cardiotoxicities of a drug molecule. We evalsuated ARD-2585 for its inhibition of the hERG channel and found that ARD-2585 exhibits no hERG inhibition up to 30 μM, the highest concentration tested. The hERG assay was performed by Medicilon.
