Cyprotex Launches Guide for the Interpretation of In Vitro ADME Data

Cyprotex today (9 May 2006) announces the launch of its newly developed educational guide - ‘Everything You Needed to Know About ADME, But Were too Afraid to Ask’. The guide is an on-line instructive tool which has been developed to assist drug discovery teams in selecting compounds for the later stages of the discovery process.

Constructed using an easy-to-follow handbook format, the guide has been produced in direct response to requests by Cyprotex’s clients for a step-by-step aide to the interpretation of ADME data.

The handbook contains guidelines including commonly used methods, useful tips and frequently asked questions, all of which aim to help researchers obtain full value from their ADME and pharmacokinetic data. Attached to each ADME assay featured within the guide is a reading list to provide the user with a further source of valuable information.

Commenting on the launch of the guide, Dr. Darwin Cheney, Cyprotex’s chief scientific officer, said. “The intention of the guide is to provide a resource for scientists who may be unfamiliar with commonly used in vitro ADME assays and how best to use the data obtained from such assays. At Cyprotex, we believe in sharing our knowledge and expertise with our clients so that they are better able to make informed decisions and we hope this guide will aid researchers when selecting potential drug candidates.”
