TriApex has successfully conducted more than 200 pharmacokinetic studies of new chemical entities (NCEs) and accelerated the development of these products.
Compound 1 is a small interfering RNA (siRNA) intended for the treatment of hyperlipidemia. We designed and conducted pharmacokinetic studies in vitro and in vivo to support IND application of the product. The studies are as follows:
Single dose pharmacokinetics study in rats and monkeys by subcutaneous injection
Study on tissue distribution in rats and plasma protein binding in vitro
Stability studies in serum and liver S9
Metabolite identification study in vitro and in vivo
CYP450 metabolic enzyme phenotyping study
Metabolic enzyme induction and inhibition study
Excretion study
Transporter study
The above studies fully demonstrated the pharmacokinetic characteristics of Compound 1, which facilitated IND application. The IND application has been approved.
