Who Should Attend
This course is designed for a broad range of personnel in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries that need a basic understanding of ADME/pharmacokinetics, especially as it pertains to drug and device development. It should be especially valuable for:
• Those needing a basic understanding of the processes
involved in absorption, disposition, metabolism and
elimination of drugs
• Managers of pharmacology and toxicology studies
• Scientists that direct or evaluate pre-clinical studies
• Chemists, engineers and other scientists involved in drug
and device development
• Biomedical engineers Description
This intensive, 3-day course will provide participants with an understanding of the principals and fundamentals for absorption, distribution, metabolism, and the elimination (ADME) of exogenous molecules and pharmacokinetics parameters used to describe these as well as basic concepts in modeling. The actual dose of a drug that ultimately reaches the target tissues and exerts pharmacologic or toxicologic effects is highly dependent on the kinetics of drug absorption and disposition in the body. Many factors can influence these kinetic processes. The goal of the course is to provide training in the fundamentals of ADME that should be understood for those involved in drug development and clinical applications. The thrust of the discussions will pertain to drugs, although the concepts are appropriate for all chemical entities. Some modeling and mathematical formulations will be presented; however, the lack of mathematical background will not impede one’s ability to understand the concepts involved. Practical examples of the ADME of problems for drugs and potential solutions to them will be provided to illustrate the application of principles in real life situations.
