Abstract
This article presents a comprehensive examination of processes related to the prediction of human pharmacokinetics (PK), a crucial task of clinical drug candidate selection. By systematically incorporating in vitro absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) and in vivo PK data with expert judgement, the study achieves high-quality human PK predictions for 40 orally administered compounds from Boehringer Ingelheim's new chemical entity (NCE) portfolio. Overall, the article provides a detailed evaluation of and guidance for a structured process to predict full concentration-time profiles beyond single-parameter predictions, using state-of-the-art methodologies. Furthermore, it discusses future challenges and improvements, and aims to provide valuable insights for scientists working in drug metabolism, PK and pharmacodynamics.
期刊介绍:
Drug Discovery Today delivers informed and highly current reviews for the discovery community. The magazine addresses not only the rapid scientific developments in drug discovery associated technologies but also the management, commercial and regulatory issues that increasingly play a part in how R&D is planned, structured and executed.
Features include comment by international experts, news and analysis of important developments, reviews of key scientific and strategic issues, overviews of recent progress in specific therapeutic areas and conference reports.
