Abstract
Hepatic metabolic stability is a crucial determinant of oral bioavailability and plasma concentrations of a compound, and its measurement is important in early drug discovery. Preliminary metabolic stability estimations are commonly performed in liver microsomal fractions. At the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, a single-point assay in rat liver microsomes (RLM) is employed for initial stability assessment (Tier I) and a multi-point detailed stability assay is employed as a Tier II assay for promising compounds. Although the in vitro and in vivo metabolic stability of compounds typically exhibit good correlation, conflicting results may arise in certain cases. While investigating one such instance, we serendipitously found vendor-related RLM differences in metabolic stability and metabolite formation, which had implications for in vitro and in vivo correlations. In this study, we highlight the importance of considering vendor differences in hepatic metabolic stability data and discuss strategies to avoid these pitfalls.
期刊介绍:
Advancing Life Sciences R&D: SLAS Discovery reports how scientists develop and utilize novel technologies and/or approaches to provide and characterize chemical and biological tools to understand and treat human disease.
SLAS Discovery is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes scientific reports that enable and improve target validation, evaluate current drug discovery technologies, provide novel research tools, and incorporate research approaches that enhance depth of knowledge and drug discovery success.
SLAS Discovery emphasizes scientific and technical advances in target identification/validation (including chemical probes, RNA silencing, gene editing technologies); biomarker discovery; assay development; virtual, medium- or high-throughput screening (biochemical and biological, biophysical, phenotypic, toxicological, ADME); lead generation/optimization; chemical biology; and informatics (data analysis, image analysis, statistics, bio- and chemo-informatics). Review articles on target biology, new paradigms in drug discovery and advances in drug discovery technologies.
SLAS Discovery is of particular interest to those involved in analytical chemistry, applied microbiology, automation, biochemistry, bioengineering, biomedical optics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, cell biology, DNA science and technology, genetics, information technology, medicinal chemistry, molecular biology, natural products chemistry, organic chemistry, pharmacology, spectroscopy, and toxicology.
SLAS Discovery is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and was published previously (1996-2016) as the Journal of Biomolecular Screening (JBS).
