Drug metabolism in a gut-liver microphysiological system

23 Mar 2021

In this application note, CN Bio applies a multi-organ gut-liver MPS to recapitulate the kinetics and metabolism of the anti-inflammatory compound diclofenac.

Download the full protocol below to explore how this model can enable the accurate characterization of drug pharmacokinetics and be used to better predict appropriate drug dosing regimens.

Multi-chip Dual-organ (MPS-TL6) Plates by CN Bio

CN Bio

Multi-chip Dual-organ (MPS-TL6) consumable plates from CN Bio are used to culture interconnected 3D in vitro multi-organ-on-chip models under perfusion, such as Gut/Liver, or Lung/Liver, to generate clinically translatable data.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.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.

Determination of the dosage of a drug is critical in pharmaceutical development to ensure the optimum balance between efficacy and toxicity.Drug MetabolismDrug metabolism is the enzymatic conversion within the body of pharmaceutical substances into other chemical compounds. The primary site for drug metabolism is the liver.
