DMPK Services

Pharmaron’s DMPK services support the needs for small molecule drug discovery, preclinical and clinical development, including preclinical candidate (PCC) identification and nomination, Investigational New Drug (IND) enabling and New Drug Application (NDA) packaging for regulatory submission. DMPK services are offered from our sites in China, United Kingdom and the United States.

Pharmaron’s DMPK group offers comprehensive in vitro ADME, radiolabelled metabolism, in vitro toxicity and in vivo pharmacokinetics services, which allow for the evaluation of DMPK properties and toxicity of small molecule drug candidates with high data quality in a cost-effective manner.

Our US Lab Services team provides express DMPK services that offer optimized, screening-based protocols with deliverables in 5-10 business days. For definitive studies to support regulatory approval, or to customize our online store assays, visit our E-Store.
