Comparison of in vitro Cellular Approaches to Investigate Metabolism-mediated Toxicity using High Content Screening
15 Sept 2013This poster describes an investigation into the use of HepaRG liver cells in drug and target design. The focus of the work was to identify methods by which they could incorporate functioning metabolic competency into high content screening(HCS) end point assays.

ADME-ToxicologyADME-toxicology (ADME-Tox) studies are used in pharmacology and pharmacokinetics to assess the activity/toxicity of drugs <i>in vivo</i> or <i>in vitro</i>. Find bioassays for absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drug molecules including cytotoxicity, transporter/permeability, metabolism and activity assays as well as hepatocytes and cell lines for ADME. Find the best ADME-toxicology products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.ToxicityToxicity is defined as the degree to which a substance can harm humans or animals. It is essential to study the toxicity of pharmaceutical products during the development process so that optimum dosage can be established for the administration of the drug.Drug DevelopmentDrug development refers to the process of bringing a new drug to market.
