Bioavailability Enhancement Technologies

Roots Analysis

A study conducted on terminated drug development projects revealed that majority of the drug candidates fail in early drug development phases, due to the problems associated with their pharmacokinetic profiles, ADME ( distribution, metabolism, absorption and excretion ) properties and toxicity-related issues.

How PK Modeling Can Inform Sample Size Estimation and Dose Selection for Your Product

Camargo

Drug development is an extremely cumbersome process, requiring the testing of an agent from in vitro studies to in vivo studies to in silico modeling. Proper planning of PK assessments can accelerate the development of both novel drugs and new formulations of previously approved drugs developed via the 505(b)(2) pathway.

Cell-penetrating peptides as a delivery system for oligonucleotides

Drug Discovery World

Oligonucleotides act on the RNA level through different molecular pathways, but there is a major drawback when using them as drugs: their poor bioavailability and cellular uptake. Over the years, a range of different CPPs have been developed, including natural translocating proteins through to newly-designed computer-prediction sequences 3.

Strategies for Streamlining Small Molecule Formulation Development When Bridging from Candidate Selection to First-in-Human Clinical Testing

Pharmaceutical Technology

The continued high level of interest in small molecules presents multiple opportunities to select a candidate that is ‘developable’, with subsequent rapid progression toward first-in-human (FIH) clinical testing. Therefore, it is vital to choose molecules for pharmaceutical development very carefully.
