Bioanalytical Chemistry/DMPK

Overview

The professional staff in the DMPK (Drug Metabolism & Pharmacokinetics) Department at Bridge in Beijing can meet your needs in every phase of the drug discovery and development process. We offer a wide variety of GLP-compliant study and discovery services to support Bioanalytical Chemistry (for small molecules) and DMPK research.

 

These services include:

• Analytical method development and validation

• Bioanalytical method development and validation

• Homogeneity and stability in dose formulations

• In Vitro ADME: metabolic stability, metabolic profiling, inhibition, induction, metabolite ID, enzyme ID, permeability, transporter plasma protein binding RBC ratio

• In Vivo ADME: metabolic profiling, inhibition, induction, metabolite ID, BBB ratio

• Metabolic disposition with ¹⁴C- or ³H-labeled compounds

• Pharmacokinetics (PK) in animals (mice, rats, NHPs, dogs)

• Toxicokinetics (TK) in animals (mice, rats, NHPs, dogs)
