Biological Information
Background Information:
Metabolic profiling of therapeutic compounds at early stages in the drug discovery process is of increasing importance. Drugs that undergo metabolism in vivo may produce pharmacologically-active or chemically reactive metabolites which can produce unexpected effects or potential toxicities. The recent FDA Guidance for Industry on Safety Testing of Drug Metabolites highlights the relevance of in vitro metabolite profiling early in drug development, as metabolites which are unique to or disproportionate in humans may require additional toxicological studies. In addition to the extensive panel of in vitro metabolism screening assays, Eurofins is able to perform studies using state-of-the-art MS instrumentation to thoroughly characterize the metabolic products of a drug compound in vivo or in vitro and compare metabolic profiles across species.
