Predictive models

DruMAP provides predictive models for many PK parameters. For the current list of available models, see New Prediction page.

For in-house (commercial or academic) use of those programs, please consider the commercial version.

More Background

To address pharmacokinetic and toxicological issues in drug development, once the main source of late attrition of drug candidates, many pharmaceutical companies have now implemented early DMPK (Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics) or early toxicological studies. However, such approaches are difficult to emulate in the academic drug discovery environment. Therefore, we began an initiative “Development of a Drug Discovery Informatics System” in collaboration with several other research groups. The main aim of this initiative is to develop more accurate prediction systems for DMPK and toxicological properties primarily targeting academic scientists. Our group’s focus is to develop a pharmacokinetics database and prediction models.

Any good prediction system depends on high-volume, high-quality training datasets. We collected pharmacokinetic and physicochemical parameters from the public bioactivity database, ChEMBL. However, since ChEMBL compiles data obtained in different experimental conditions, we developed a curation workflow to select the data measured in compatible conditions and to reformat the results as appropriate for our prediction system.

In addition to the public data, we have acquired both in vitro and in vivo experimental data under unified protocols. The in vitro experiments include physicochemical parameters such as solubility and distribution coefficient, and pharmacokinetic parameters such as metabolic stability, protein binding in plasma, protein binding in brain homogenate, and blood-to-plasma concentration ratio. In addition, we collected efflux ratio of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which is the major transporter in gut and brain. The in vivo data include the drug concentrations in plasma and tissues after oral or intravenous administration of the drug and pharmacokinetic parameters calculated therefrom.

We are currently developing several new models and we plan to release them in due course. Send any questions or comments to drumap[at]nibiohn.go.jp (please replace [at] with @).
