[Abstract]:

PROTACs are bifunctional compounds, an emerging modality, with molecular weights and physicochemical properties that fall outside the classic ‘rule-of-five’ spaces of small-molecule property. In the drug discovery of PROTACs, consequently, there are complex challenges including DMPK, compared with traditional small molecules. Our DMPK group provides flexible, customized services in support of overcoming the challenges in developing oral PROTEC drugs.

 

Common problems and solutions for DMPK evaluation of PROTAC molecules:

DMPK Issue Recommendation
Solubility Insoluable Simulated fluid replace PBS buffer
Permeability Poor recovery Addition of BSA, FBS
Transporter Substrate, or inhibitor Specific transporter, hMDR1 Knockin MDCKll Cells Or, hBCRP Knockin MDCKll Cells
Bioanalysis Unstable Deactivate enzyme in plasma or blood immediately
Bioanalysis Non specific binding Detergent
Bioanalysis Fragment in LC-MS ion source Optimized MS condition
Metabolism Diverse metabolism Comprehensive metabolism system: microsome, hepatocyte, S9, cytosol; AO, UGT activity; CYP phenotyping
PPB Unstable Enzyme inhibitor
