Pharmacokinetics Analysis

Pharmacokinetics (PK) analysis is a core component of modern drug discovery, evaluating absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties of lead compounds to predict in vivo performance, optimize molecular structure, reduce clinical failure risk, and support lead-to-candidate progression. As a trusted brand under STEMart, PharmaAnalytica delivers standardized, high-throughput, and regulatory-oriented PK services for global pharmaceutical and biotech clients. Our platform integrates advanced in vitro permeability models, quantitative bioanalysis, and high‑resolution mass spectrometry to provide full-cycle ADME characterization for lead compounds.

Specialized Pharmacokinetics Analysis Services

Parallel Artificial Membrane Permeability Assay (PAMPA)

PAMPA is a high-throughput in vitro model for evaluating passive transcellular permeability of lead compounds, widely used for early absorption prediction and rapid screening. It simulates lipid membrane barriers without cell involvement, enabling fast, stable, and repeatable ranking of oral absorption potential. This assay supports large-scale compound optimization and is ideal for early-stage lead filtering.

Caco-2 Permeability Assay

Caco-2 cell monolayer is the gold‑standard in vitro model for predicting human intestinal absorption and transmembrane transport. It distinguishes passive diffusion, active uptake, and efflux transport (e.g., P‑gp), supporting assessment of oral bioavailability, drug-drug interaction risk, and formulation effects. Reliable Caco-2 data directly guides structural modification and candidate selection.

Drug Distribution and Excretion Analysis with LC‑MS/MS

Quantitative analysis of drug concentration in plasma, tissue, bile, urine, and feces is performed using validated LC-MS/MS systems to obtain key PK parameters: AUC, Cmax, Tmax, t1/2, Vd, CL, and cumulative excretion. This service reveals in vivo distribution characteristics and elimination pathways, supporting dose design, tissue accumulation assessment, and safety evaluation.

Metabolite Identification with Q‑TOF MS

High-resolution quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (Q-TOF MS) is used for unbiased identification and structural characterization of drug metabolites in plasma, bile, and liver microsomal incubations. It enables detection of phase I and phase II metabolites, clarification of metabolic pathways, and identification of reactive intermediates, supporting safety assessment and metabolic soft-spot optimization.

High-Performance Analytical Technology & Instrument Platform

LCMS/MS Quantitative Bioanalysis System

LC-MS/MS provides high sensitivity, wide linear range, and excellent selectivity for precise quantification of lead compounds and metabolites in complex biological matrices. The system supports multi‑reaction monitoring (MRM) mode, delivering high-throughput detection with ppt-level sensitivity.

QTOF HighResolution Mass Spectrometry System

Q-TOF MS enables high‑accuracy full-scan detection and elemental composition analysis for unknown metabolite identification. It supports untargeted metabolite profiling, MS/MS structural elucidation, and isotopic distribution matching, allowing efficient detection and structural confirmation of oxidative, hydrolytic, and conjugated metabolites.

Automated Liquid Handling & Sample Preparation Platform

Integrated automated extraction, protein precipitation, solid‑phase extraction (SPE), and derivatization modules ensure standardized, reproducible sample processing. High‑throughput workflows reduce manual error and improve data reliability for large-scale PK studies.
