Enzyme Induction studies predict a compound’s likelihood to increase clearance of a concomitant (victim) drug by up-regulating (inducing) enzymes that metabolize it. To learn more about this service, visit our Enzyme Induction contract service page.

2C or Not 2C: CYP2C Induction Studies for Successful Preclinical Risk Assessment
As a part of IND-enabling preclinical drug development studies companies are required to meet regulatory expectations to evaluate the induction potential of their compound for the cytochrome P450 CYP enzymes CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C19 and 3A4. While only CYP1A2, 2B6 and 3A4 must be assessed in the initial induction panel, any observed induction of CYP3A4 requires further investigation of induction potential for enzymes in the CYP2C family due to crosstalk between the PXR and CAR nuclear receptor pathways. This webinar will focus on CYP2C induction and will emphasize when to include CYP2C induction in a study, how to design the study to generate meaningful data and meet the regulatory requirements, what endpoints to measure, and how to interpret results.

ADME 101: Model-Based Approaches to DDI Risk Prediction – Navigating the Transition from In Vitro Data to In Silico Modeling
This informative ADME 101 discusses In Vitro to In Vivo Extrapolation (IVIVE) and how a model-based approach following routine perpetrator potential studies (i.e. CYP inhibition, CYP induction, and transporter inhibition) assessing clinical potential may eliminate the need of conducting clinical studies. Listen in as Dr. Limaye outlines a step–wise approach for bringing robustness to the prediction, including...
