Our mission is to empower innovative pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies like yours to bring life-saving antifungal therapies to patients faster. Request a quote
Our Comprehensive Suite of PK/DMPK Services for Antifungal Drug Research
To provide a clearer picture of our capabilities, let's explore three foundational services that underpin successful antifungal drug development:
ADME Profiling
This comprehensive service characterizes the Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion of your compound, providing critical insights into its in vivo behavior and informing lead optimization and candidate selection.
In Vitro DMPK
These studies assess the metabolic stability, enzyme inhibition/induction, and transporter interactions of your antifungal drug candidates, helping to predict their in vivo metabolic fate and potential for drug-drug interactions.
PK/PD Modeling
This advanced service integrates pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data to establish exposure-response relationships, enabling more accurate predictions of efficacy and guiding optimal dosing strategies for your antifungal compounds.

FAQs
Why is preclinical PK/DMPK particularly important for antifungal drugs compared to other drug classes?
Antifungal drugs present unique challenges. They often need to penetrate specific fungal-infected tissues (e.g., skin, nails, lung, CNS), which can have unique physiological barriers. Fungal infections also commonly affect immunocompromised patients who may be on multiple concomitant medications, making drug-drug interaction (DDI) a major concern. Furthermore, the fungal target itself can influence how a drug interacts with host metabolism, making robust PK/DMPK data critical for optimizing efficacy and safety.
What animal models do you typically use for preclinical PK studies of antifungal drugs?
The choice of animal model depends on the specific drug, its target, and the intended route of administration. Commonly used preclinical species include rodents (mice, rats), rabbits, and non-rodents (dogs, minipigs). We select the most appropriate model based on factors such as metabolic similarity to humans, ethical considerations, and the specific disease model (if applicable) relevant to the fungal infection being targeted.
What information do I need to provide to get a quote for PK/DMPK services for my antifungal compound?
Yes, absolutely. Our expert scientists are highly experienced in developing and validating custom in vitro assays tailored to your unique research needs, including assays for specific fungal targets, virulence factors, or unique culture conditions.
