Phase I biotransformation reactions introduce or expose functional groups on the drug with the goal of increasing the polarity of the compound. Although Phase I drug metabolism occurs in most tissues, the primary and first pass site of metabolism occurs during hepatic circulation.
Target identification, validation and characterization for early stages of drug discovery. Identifying drug target via genetic association, expression profiling.
Quinolones are a key group of antibiotics that interfere with DNA synthesis by inhibiting topoisomerase, most frequently topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase), an enzyme involved in DNA replication.
Properties of lipid formulations can vary depending on the composition (cationic, anionic, neutral lipid species), however, the same preparation method can be used for all lipid vesicles regardless of composition. The general elements of the procedure involve preparation of the lipid for hydration, hydration with agitation, and sizing to a homogeneous distribution of vesicles.
Assays that predict passive absorption of orally administered drugs have become increasingly important in the drug discovery process. As previously described by Faller and Kansy such assays provide rapid, low cost and automation friendly methods to measure a compound’s passive permeability.
