From physicochemistry to absorption and distribution: predictive mechanistic modelling and computational tools

Willmann, Stefan, Lippert, Jörg, Schmitt, Walter·2005·Expert Opinion on Drug Metabolism & Toxicology

Abstract

During the past decade, the pharmaceutical industry has invested considerably in technologies that have the potential to increase throughput in discovery projects. For large compound libraries, efficacy, availability and safety should be determined as early and as reliably as possible. The latest step in this effort is the implementation of in silico methods that combine and interpret (sometimes replace) experimental in vitro data. For ADME properties (absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion) rational predictive models have been developed that rely on basic physicochemical input data and on mechanistic descriptions of the underlying biophysical and biochemical processes. Some of these models have become commercially available (e.g., GastroPlus: Simulations Plus; PK-Map, PK-Sim: Bayer Technology Services). The contribution of such models to an optimised research and development process will be discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
