Human AME

Inquiry

As an comprehensive biomedical preclinical R&D services CRO, based on advanced technology and expert scientists, BOC Sciences is committed to providing human AME services to facilitate your drug discovery process.

What is Human AME?

Human absorption, metabolism, and excretion (human AME) studies, human radiolabel-AME studies, evaluate the pharmacokinetics, mass balance, excretion pathways, and metabolic pathways of the parent drug to ensure that the metabolite profile was comparable to that observed in preclinical ADME studies and to identify any disproportionate or unique human metabolites.

More than ever, new drug discovery relies on AME studies and toxicology testing. Conduct human AME studies (especially if there are any potentially toxic metabolites or metabolites unique to humans compared to animals, and/or if you need to establish early information about major metabolites and excretion patterns to plan future study designs), to evaluate radiolabeled drugs in humans with the help of BOC Sciences.

Why Human AME is Needed

Determine the major metabolic pathways, the major metabolic sites, and the proportion of metabolites in each major metabolic pathway to total clearance of the subject drug in humans.
Elucidate the enzymes associated with metabolite production, the effects of potential inhibition and induction, and the impact of possible genetic polymorphisms on metabolism.
Clarify relevant enzyme kinetic parameters when performing experimental design for metabolite interaction studies.

Why Conduct Human AME Studies As Early As Possible?

Plan clinical DDI studies, renal/hepatic impaired elderly, pediatric
Plan future PK and phase I/Ill study dose levels
Gender differences
Polymorphically expressed enzymes, CYP450, Transporters (e.g. PM, EM subgroups)
Assist with possible BCS class 1 biowaiver
Plan carcinogenicity study - match metabolites
Future drug design - protect IP

Our Human AME Studies

As a world leading provider of human AME studies, we have extensive experience, we have the scientific expertise and operational knowledge to design and deliver human AME programs, helping our customers to better understand the nature and quantity of drug metabolites formed in the human body with the clear information they need.

Objectives	To obtain substance balance data and excretion pathways of the tested drugs in the human body To elucidate the main biotransformation pathways and elimination mechanisms of the test drug in humans Confirm the correct selection of animal species for toxicity studies To elucidate whether the major metabolic products in vivo have an impact on efficacy and toxicology
