From in vivo to in vitro/in silico ADME: progress and challenges
Abstract:
High-throughput screening technologies in biological sciences of large libraries of compounds obtained via combinatorial or parallel chemistry approaches, as well as the application of design rules for drug-likeness, have resulted in more hits to be evaluated with respect to their ADME or drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic properties. The traditional in vivo methods using preclinical species, such as rat, dog or monkey, are no longer sufficient to cope with this demand. This editorial discusses the changes towards medium- to high-throughput in vitro and in silico ADME screening. In addition, much more attention is now put on early safety and risk assessment of promising lead series and potential clinical candidates.

The Doluisio method involves perfusing a prepared segment of a rat's small intestine with a solution of radiolabeled drug and a non-absorbable marker. This helps to differentiate between absorbed and non-absorbed drug concentrations. The intestinal segment is connected at both ends using tubing and syringes,...
