II. REPORT SYNOPSIS
ADMET technologies play an important role in determining pharmacokinetic and toxicology properties of a
new drug candidate in preclinical stage of the drug discovery process.
ADME is at present a confirmed and indispensable part of coordinated drug discovery and development
programs. It furnishes important data to facilitate iterative chemistry, target discovery and biological
procedures on which pipelines are dependent upon.
ADME-toxicology is also known as ADMET or ADME/Tox. It is an instrument for drug discovery. It is used for
assessing the pharmacological activity or pharmacological toxicity of a drug. It could be performed either in
vitro or in vivo.
To obtain ADME analysis, the detection systems and assay kits are immensely useful. Presently ADME
analysis can also be performed by high throughput automated workstations.
Typically ADME/Tox (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and Toxicology) is defined as follows:
Absorption
Absorption determines the compound’s bioavailability. Oral delivery is the most desirable route of drug
administration.
The effective gastrointestinal absorption of an orally administered drug is one of the key factors for its
bioavailability, and the rate of Absorption mainly depends upon the surface area of the intestine.
Distribution
Distribution refers to the passage of the drug to the every tissue of the body depending upon the particle
size by the process of filtration, diffusion and osmosis.
The extent of drug distributed in the body is referred to as Volume of Distribution.
Metabolism
The definition of metabolism is the processing of a particular substance inside the living body. Compounds
start to disintegrate immediately after entering the living body.
A substantial part of the small-molecule drug metabolism is performed within the liver by redox enzymes.
These redox enzymes are known as cytochrome P450 enzymes.
When the process of metabolism takes place, the original compound which has entered the body, gets
transformed into new compounds.

The new compounds are called metabolites. The metabolites soon become pharmacologically inactive. At
that point in time, metabolism inhibits the dose of the original drug that was dispensed.
As this deactivation process advances there is a reduction of the effects on the body. Intermittently, it will
be observed, that the metabolites could be pharmacologically active.
The metabolites may become more active than the original drug that was administered.
Excretion
Excretion or elimination may be described as the process of discharging metabolic waste from the organs,
tissues or blood.
The compounds and the metabolites of the compounds have to be necessarily eliminated from the body.
The process is termed as excretion. The excretion via kidneys is through urine.
The waste matter eliminated via the bowels is feces. It is imperative that excretion is thorough. If not, the
aggregation of foreign substances tends to negatively affect regular and functional metabolism.
Drug excretion takes place via three sites. They are as follows:
1. The most essential site is the kidneys through which drug excretion occurs. The waste matter is
eliminated through the urine.
2. Fecal excretion and biliary excretion, that is, relating to bile, is initiated in the liver. The waste matter
then is transported through the guts and the last part of the process is the excretion through the feces.
3. The third method of excretion is via the lungs. The lungs are used by the body to eliminate organic
anesthetic gases.
Toxicity
Toxicity refers to the degree to what extent a substance or matter or the combination of matter can
endanger humans.
There are two basic toxicities - chronic toxicity and acute toxicity. Chronic toxicity harms over an extended
period, is generally repeated and continues. Acute toxicity causes harmful effects over a short period of
time.

In Vitro ADME/Tox – An Emerging Technology
In vitro ADME/Tox technologies are likely to have slow development as they have to rely on innovative and
new ideas.
In vivo methods that have well developed In vivo alternatives are easiest to replace. Other In vivo
techniques that provide toxicity information, not easily comprehensible, will be more difficult to replace.
The mapping of the human genome and the oncoming of computational techniques has greatly increased
the utility of In vitro methods.
In vitro technology is largely used to predict whole body kinetics and drug to drug interactions.
Factors such as genotypes, age, ethnicity, disease, etc. are taken into consideration to root out potential
drug compound failures. Early In vitro toxicity screening helps in eradication of failure compounds very
early.

III. MARKET DYNAMICS
New technologies in ADME/Tox have evolved from diverse scientific disciplines. The toughest challenge is
to integrate several successful features and enable pharmaceutical companies to benefit and reap profits in
the future.
Though some of the concepts in this industry are still in infant stages, the data generated from other
relevant sources can be used to close the gaps.
Pharmaceutical companies realize the potential of ADME/Tox technologies and are trying more than before
to incorporate innovative procedures to reduce drug attrition rates and lessen the burden of costs and save
precious time.
Strategic partnerships between pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are the order of the day, and
the trend is increasing globally.
Another significant trend is the alliance between Pharma and Biotech companies and information
technology companies such as Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, Sun, and Infosys, etc.
The computer platforms generated by such companies help managing and analyzing the huge amounts of
data produced from ADME/Tox technologies such as High Throughput Screening (HTS) and other
computational techniques.
Effective R&D strategy involves efficient data management and implementation plans. The new
technologies promise improved efficacy, decreased toxicity in patients, and reduced time frames and

IV. PRODUCT/TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH
Time and Money – both can be saved by applying ADME/Tox technologies in the early drug discovery
processes. ADME/Tox studies determine dosage and toxicity issues for any new drug before human trials.
Prediction of potential human risks of a new drug candidate is crucial in early stages of the drug
discovery/development process. Even 10%-12% increase in identifying failures before a drug candidate
entering the clinical trial stage could save the company over US$100 million.
ADME/Tox or ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and Toxicity) is widely accepted
preclinical testing system of a new drug candidate.
ADME/Tox is applied in various tests to determine the candidate’s characteristics such as absorption,
distribution, metabolism, and excretion respectively by intestine, liver, kidney, and other target organs.
ADME/Tox is also applied in determining toxicity profile of the drug candidate.
Biotechnology methods for screening new drug candidates are becoming important and the technology
needs to provide latest screening tools at the pace of discovery of numerous new drug candidates.
Improvements in molecular biology made it possible to clone express proteins that are expected to play a
key role in disease trial and combinatorial chemistry helped in creating large libraries of chemical
compounds.
This phenomenon helped in discovering/identifying huge number of drug candidates.
Though animal studies, considered as gold standard in confirming adequate drug exposure limits in human
are essentially used in tests, non animal models such as In vitro and in silico techniques are rapidly making
their ground.
Most of the drugs fail in the clinical development phase due to their poor ADME/Tox properties.
Companies are making robust efforts in eliminating poor elements before they enter into clinical trials.
Drug failure in or post clinical trial phase may lead the company into economic disasters.

ADME/TOX TECHNOLOGIES – THE OUTLOOK
Global ADME/Tox Technologies market is projected to grow at a robust rate of XX.XX % compounded
annually from 2005 through 2020. This growth is mainly driven by the efforts of pharmaceutical and
biotech companies for reducing time and cost of drug discovery.
ADME/Tox profiling of a drug candidate plays a key role in reducing clinical trials cost and time of drug
launch to the market.
ADME/Tox assays eliminate compounds with lack of bioavailability, lower efficacy and toxicity in early
stages, in order to save time and costs in expensive later stages of drug discovery.
Due to ethical issues and growing trend towards decrease in using animals in clinical trials, there is a
gradual decline in market for In vivo predictive technology.
Though In vivo accounts for about three- fourth of total ADME/Tox Technologies market currently, non-
animal technologies- In vitro and In silico are projected to peg more than 40% of the market by 2015.
In particular, In silico is projected grow at a high CAGR of XX.XX % during the period 2005-2020. In terms of
technology, In silico is projected to register the fastest growth rate in all geographic
markets……………………………...
