ADMET


SAE Media Group's ADMET conference is now in its 5th year - click below to view our 2010 event.

 


 

2009 Past Event Details:

The discovery and development of drugs is high in both cost and risk.  On average it takes between 12 -15 years to bring a drug to market following its conception and can cost in the region of $1.8 billion.  Discovering toxicity issues late in this process can therefore be financially devastating for a company.

Assessment of toxicity early on can reduce this risk, meaning the focus of Pharma has fallen on mass ADMET consideration.  Identifying ADMET issues early can give Pharma the opportunity to increase the likelihood of success, reduce associated costs and minimise the time to market for a drug candidate.

SAE Media Group’s 4th annual ADMET conference aims to bring together experts in the fields of ADME and toxicology to discuss the methods that can be employed in this quest.  With a varied programme, including in vitro ADME, computational methods relating to ADME and in vitro toxicity studies.

    TOXICOLOGICAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN PROTEINS OBTAINED FROM A MOLECULAR SPAM FILTER

    John Mitchell

    John Mitchell, Lecturer, Unilever Centre for Molecular Science, University of Cambridge

  • Protein target prediction allows us to link (predictively) 150000 organic molecules to 233 specific protein targets (each of which we treat as if it were a single protein, although some may actually be sets of biologically and pharmacologically related proteins)
  • Toxicological databases link (experimentally) these 150000 molecules to 23 toxicity classes
  • Combining these two sources of data matches the 233 proteins with the 23 toxicity classes
  • For each protein target, we have a profile of association with the 23 toxicity classes
  • Proteins with similar profiles are clustered together
  • We demonstrate that these clusters of proteins can be physiologically meaningful

    PBPK MODELLING

    Simon  Thomas

    Simon Thomas , Head of Scientific Computing, Cyprotex Discovery Ltd

  • Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling provides a powerful means of integrating ADME and physicochemical data to predict in vivo pharmacokinetics in humans and pre-clinical animals
  • Predictions of PK from ADME data can enhance the ability to select compounds that are most likely to have appropriate PK in vivo
  • The determination of physicochemical and ADME properties during early drug discovery ('early ADME data') enables PK prediction to be performed at any stage from lead identification onwards
  • Results will be presented for the prediction of human, rat and mouse PK by a novel PBPK model using early ADME data.  Potential applications in drug discovery will be described
  • Assessing models residing on a central server, via the World Wide Web, enables cost-effective and instant access to the latest results of PBPK modelling research and development

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
