PK-Bridge

Pharmacokinetic studies bridge the gap between compound activity and therapeutic success. By providing a detailed understanding of how the body processes the drug (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion), PK data enables smarter decisions, reduces development risk, and increases the likelihood of advancing successful drug candidates into the clinic. At Transpharmation we offer rapid turnaround of a wide range of bespoke rat, mouse and dog pharmacokinetic protocols. All protocols are tailored to client requirements helping you generate datasets for lead optimization and candidate progression decisions.

Our oral and intravenous pharmacokinetic studies provide essential insight into bioavailability, Cmax, half-life, clearance and target tissue exposure, helping you make informed decisions on dose selection and route of administration.
