Accurately determine the hepatic intrinsic clearance of NCEs taking into account the active uptake into hepatocytes.
The hepatocyte uptake assay is in our portfolio of in vitro ADME services. We deliver consistent, high quality data with the flexibility to adapt protocols based on specific customer requirements.
Experiences of sub-optimal drug exposure due to drug transporter interplay have supported incorporation of studies aimed at understanding the interactions between compound and drug transporters much earlier in drug discovery.
