It is shown, using a large diverse set of drugs, that a fixed exponent allometric scaling approach can be used to predict humanin-vivo PK parameters CL, Vss and t1/2 solely from rat data with acceptable accuracy for making go/no-go decisions in drug discovery.

The most important part of the experimental design is to measure the rate of production of [P] during the linear phase of the time course of the reaction and to prove that the enzyme- catalyzed reaction is reversible.
N-GLUCURONIDATION OF THE PLATELET-DERIVED GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR TYROSINE KINASE INHIBITOR 6,7-(DIMETHOXY-2,4-DIHYDROINDENO[1,2-C]PYRAZOL-3-YL)-(3-FLUORO-PHENYL)-AMINE BY HUMAN…

Results suggested that glucuronidation of JNJ-10198409 in human liver microsomes is catalyzed by multiple UGT1A enzymes, and conjugation at the nitrogens of the pyrazole ring represents a new structural moiety for UGT 1A-mediated reactions.

X-ray cocrystal structures of KHK complexes of 3, 8, and 47 revealed the important interactions within the enzyme's adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP)-binding pocket, and potent, selective inhibitors of human hepatic KHK within a series of pyrimidinopyrimidines were identified.
The use of the suicide CYP450 inhibitor ABT for distinguishing absorption and metabolism processes in in-vivo pharmacokinetic screens

It is suggested that this rapid ratin-vivo PK screen where the oxidative drug metabolism has been attenuated using the suicide CYP450 inhibitor aminobenzotriazole (ABT) could be used as an alternative toin vivo cannulation assays because of the ease of preparing and interpreting data.
