Drug Discovery Technologies and Dependence on
ADME/TOX Screening
The ADME/Tox screening market is the real
hurdle in modern drug discovery technologies as animal models cannot be
automated. Companies that develop state of art ADME/Tox screening products for
human relevance will generate greater revenues due to the product demand in the
market. Newer assays and new approaches to ADME/Tox screening are the demands
of pharmaceutical companies. Combinatorial chemistry and HTS are enabling
companies to test millions of drug compounds in lesser time frames.
Typically it takes about 10-12 years for a
drug to see the light of the market. Of about 10,000 compounds that are
screened, only about 2,000 pass through identification stage, of which about 10
enter preclinical testing and about 4.5 compounds to actual clinical testing,
finally the most befitting one enters the market post government board
approval. The procedure costs anything between US$500 million to US$1 billion.
The primary reason for drug removals from the
market is attributed to liver injuries. Drug approvals come under serious question
as there are drugs that are approved but then come under the gun due to their
negative consequences. For example, fenfluramine has been in the market for
many years and millions of patients have been subjected to this drug. It had to
be withdrawn after serious aftereffects. Traditional toxicity studies could not
predict troglitazone (an oral hypoglycemic agent), and Baycol, a statin, even
though drug interaction studies could have determined some. Animal models
depict human affinities better and can predict bone marrow and gastrointestinal
toxicities. However, other toxicities cannot be well predicted. Rodents predict
human toxicity the poorest, while dogs and monkeys show better results. But,
mice studies cost less while dogs and monkeys incur huge expenditures and are
restricted by availability.
What is Driving the ADME/TOX Market?
· Global ADME/TOX market is mainly driven by the
efforts of pharmaceutical and biotech companies for reducing time and cost of
drug discovery.
· ADME/Tox profiling of a drug candidate plays a
key role in reducing clinical trials cost and time of drug launch in the
market.
· ADME/Tox assays eliminate compounds with lack of
bioavailability, lower efficacy and toxicity in early stages, in order to save
time and costs in expensive later stages of drug discovery.
· Due to ethical issues and a growing trend towards
decrease in using animals in clinical trials, there is a gradual decline in
market for In vivo predictive technology.
· Though In vivo accounts for about three- fourth
of total ADME/Tox Technologies market currently, non-animal technologies - In
vitro and In silico are projected to peg more than 70% of the market.
· ADMET studies need to be
deployed early stage and the technology should be scalable to high throughput
formats. More and more companies are coming up with In silico approaches to
ADMET, and are automating and integrating assays to HTS.
