Bioavailability Enhancement: Determination and Conceptual Approaches in Overcoming Bioavailability Problems

358
Bioavailability is a critical pharmacological concept that measures the extent and rate at which an active drug ingredient or therapeutic moiety enters the systemic circulation, remaining unchanged. It's a pivotal factor in determining a drug's efficacy and safety.The Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) plays an essential role in drug development by categorizing drugs into four classes based on their solubility and permeability. This classification aids in understanding drug absorption...

Bioreactor Design and Operational System

191
Bioreactors are engineered vessels designed to cultivate microorganisms under controlled conditions for industrial bioprocessing. They maintain sterility and allow precise regulation of pH, temperature, oxygen, and nutrient levels to optimize microbial growth and metabolite production. Bioreactors range from small laboratory units of 1 liter to industrial systems holding up to 500,000 liters, though only about 75% of their volume is actively used for fermentation. The remaining headspace...

Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Bioavailability: Overview01:17

Bioavailability: Overview

818
Bioavailability refers to the proportion of an administered drug that reaches the systemic circulation in its active, unaltered form. It is a crucial pharmacokinetic parameter that determines the effectiveness of a drug in achieving its intended therapeutic outcomes. The route of administration significantly influences bioavailability, with intravenous administration achieving 100% bioavailability as the drug directly enters the bloodstream. In contrast, oral administration often results in...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Informatics
  • Drug Discovery
  • Ontology Engineering

Background:

  • Lack of standardized metadata for biological assays and screening outcomes hinders drug and chemical probe discovery.
  • Existing drug screening data is underutilized due to limitations in description and annotation standards.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop the BioAssay Ontology (BAO) for standardized description and annotation of drug screening assays and results.
  • To enable effective integration, aggregation, retrieval, and analysis of drug screening data.
  • To provide a methodology for ontology modularization to facilitate reuse and sharing of specific ontology components.

Main Methods:

  • Created the BioAssay Ontology (BAO) with a layered architecture for modularization.
  • Separated internal/external modules and domain-level/structural components.
  • Applied BAO in collaborative projects like the BioAssay Research Database (BARD) and LINCS.

Main Results:

  • BAO has been expanded and enhanced since its 2010 release.
  • A modularization methodology using a layered architecture was developed.
  • The approach facilitates the creation of derived ontologies for specific use cases.

Conclusions:

  • The modularized BAO supports modeling of complex assays and integration with other datasets.
  • This methodology enables efficient reuse and sharing of ontology components without redundancy.
  • BAO advancements improve the utilization of drug screening data in research and development.
