Environmental Metabolism
Environmental Metabolism Services
Pharmaron offers a comprehensive range of environmental fate and metabolism studies to evaluate metabolic pathways and compound disposition in soil, sediment and water including nature of residue studies in plants (crops) and livestock (food-grade animals). Our GLP services can be closely integrated with the radiosynthesis of test materials with 14C or 3H.
We also offer Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) services for pharmaceuticals and veterinary products. Together with our partners, we conduct all studies for Phase l, lla and llb ERAs required for compound registration in the US, Europe and Japan. We can provide regulatory consultancy and program management as required. In addition, Pharmaron can perform in vivo metabolism and dermal penetration studies in laboratory species and in vitro cross-species comparative metabolism studies in both hepatocytes and microsomes.
