Ligand Binding Assays in the 21st Century Laboratory: Platforms
Journal Title: The AAPS Journal - Year 2012, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
A high level of precision is required to generate reproducible bioanalytical results for the measurement of drug, biomarker concentrations, and detection of immunogenic responses. Precision for LBAs analytical assays used in support regulated studies should be less than 20% coefficient of variation (12,20). A platform with high level of precision could reduce the random error of the analytical method, thus facilitating better analytical precision and more accurate monitoring of therapeutic and biomarker concentrations, immune responses, and potency measurements.

Small Molecule Modifiers of the microRNA and RNA Interference Pathway
Recently, the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway has become the target of small molecule inhibitors and activators. RNAi has been well established as a research tool in the sequence-specific silencing of genes in eukaryotic...
Kinetic modeling of plasmid DNA degradation in rat plasma
A major obstacle in gene delivery is the transport of intact plasmid DNA (pDNA) to target sites. We sought to investigate the kinetic processes underlying the degradation of pDNA in a rat plasma model, as this is one of...
Rheological Evaluation of Silicon/Carbopol Hydrophilic Gel Systems as a Vehicle for Delivery of Water Insoluble Drugs
The present study analyzed the thickening properties of Carbopol 974 and 971 in a 50:50 mixture of water/Silsense™ A-21, a new cationic silicon miscible in any proportion with water. Samples were prepared by simp...
Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modelling of Drug Penetration Across the Blood–Brain Barrier—Towards a Mechanistic IVIVE-Based Approach
Predicting the penetration of drugs across the human blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a significant challenge during their development. A variety of in vitro systems representing the BBB have been described, but the...
Statistics on BCS Classification of Generic Drug Products Approved Between 2000 and 2011 in the USA
The Biopharmaceutics Classification system (BCS) classifies drug substances based on aqueous solubility and intestinal permeability. The objective of this study was to use the World Health Organization Model List of Esse...
