What is the Significance of ADME for Pharmacokinetics in Drug Discovery? The term ADME is an abbreviation for Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion. ADME assays enable drug discovery experts at a drug discovery CRO to assess and understand how a drug compound is processed by a living organism, especially in a human body. It is often referred to as the ADMET process signifying the Toxicology tests being part of this process.
Purpose of Pharmacokinetic Studies In order to understand the exact significance of ADME services in drug discovery, first, we need to understand the pharmacokinetics and each element of it. Basic Definition of ADME Services ADME is the four steps of pharmacokinetics and here we are going to elaborate on each one. Absorption:
