This book helps readers integrate in silico, in
vitro, and in vivo ADMET (absorption,
distribution, metabolism, elimination and toxicity) and PK
(pharmacokinetics) data with routine testing applications so that
pharmaceutical scientists can diagnose ADMET problems and present
appropriate recommendations to move drug discovery programs
forward.
The book introduces the current clinical practice for drug
discovery and development along with the impact on early risk
assessment; consolidates the tools and models to intelligently
integrate existing in silico, in
vitro and in vivo ADMET data; and
demonstrates successful cases and lessons learned from real drug
discovery and development. In short, it is a book aimed to provide
a practical road map for drug discovery and development scientists
to generate efficacious and safe drugs for unmet medical needs.
