ADMET

The poor success rate in developing a new drug from discovery to market is a major problem faced by the pharmaceutical industry today.
The goal of early ADME is to determine whether a candidate drug forms reactive metabolites as early as possible and mitigate attrition rates.
Reactive drug metabolites are known to be one of the factors behind unexpected drug-induced toxicity and therefore their identification early in the drug discovery process is of big importance.


Furthermore, cardiovascular toxicity is often to blame, accounting for approximately 27% of drug failures due to toxicity in the preclinical phase:
The overall attrition rate due to cardiovascular events in clinical development is 21%, indicating that several cardiovascular effects occur in Phase II and III clinical trials which are not detected in the preclinical studies or earlier clinical trials. Thus, the conference will feature a dedicated session on toxicity and highlight emerging technology to aid better prediction.

 

ADME parameters obtained from in vitro and in vivo models, which aid in the prediction of drug behaviors in patients, are important for the decision to advance, hold or terminate a drug candidate. However, incomplete ADME studies or misinterpretation of ADME data may cause failures in drug development. ADME studies are conducted with in vitro, in vivo or in silico models.


In vitro models generate many ADME parameters, including apparent permeability, metabolic stability, protein binding, blood-to-plasma partitioning, drug–drug interaction potentials (e.g., inhibition and induction of cytochrome P450 (CYP) and transporters), cell proliferation and cytotoxicity, and hERG inhibition. In vivo models of animals and healthy human subjects provide information such as drug oral bioavailability, exposures, distribution, clearance, and duration of exposure for a drug and its metabolites.


Finally, in silico models predict drug behaviors based on physicochemical properties of drug candidates in combination with crystal structures of a protein (an enzyme or a transporter) and database of ADME properties generated in laboratories. With the numerous models available, proper experimental model selection is essential for ADME property optimization.

SPONSORED SESSION: How we set about revolutionizing in-vitro membrane drug transporter assays

Paul Brooks

Paul Brooks, Head of Discovery Research Services, Sigma Aldrich

 


ABSTRACT:

The drug discovery process is both a high cost and high risk endeavour. It has been estimated that bringing a drug candidate to market can cost in the range of $1–2 billion dollars and typically takes 12 years to complete. It is therefore no surprise that withdrawal in the later stages of this process is devastatingly expensive to the pharmaceutical industry. An obvious improvement to these high costs and long timelines is to find ways to eliminate non-viable drug candidates from therapeutic programs much earlier in the process. This has made the ADME and toxicology stages of drug discovery a focal point for improvements by the pharmaceutical industry. Advances in ADME and toxicology studies have the potential to increase the probability of success, decrease overall costs and reduce the time to market.

In this seminar we highlight one such advance in the use of genetically modified cell lines that improve upon, and simplify, in-vitro membrane drug transporter research. These cell lines hold the potential to help clarify complex drug-transporter interactions without some of the limitations of current chemical or genetic knockdown approaches.


BENEFITS:
· Learn about the latest assays for drug transporter investigations.
· Discover how these assays relate to the FDA and EMA Guidances for Drug Interaction Studies.

    IJCBDD, an International Society of Intelligent Biological Medicine official journal, bridges the gap between two very important, complementary disciplines, computational biology and drug design. Through advances in high-throughput genome sequencing and digital imaging technologies, biocomputing, drug design and medical research have unfolded new, predictive sciences such as genomics, proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, cytomics and pharmaconomics. These promote new computational, statistical and biomedical approaches to drug design/development, besides unleashing the potential of significantly more accurate, effective personalised diagnosis, therapeutics and patient care.

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
