Metabolism Products

Drug metabolism plays a critical role in the toxicity, efficacy or detoxification of a drug compound. Understanding how a drug compounds' enzymatic metabolic pathways and metabolic rates influence its clearance, metabolite concentration, and potential drug-drug interactions is a critical component to developing safe and effective drugs.

BD Biosciences extensive portfolio of products and services to support the characterization of drug metabolism and drug-drug interactions include: recombinant drug metabolizing enzymes, human- and animal-derived hepatocytes and tissue fractions, antibodies, chemical substrates, metabolites and inhibitors needed to perform metabolic studies.

NEW! BD UltraPool HLM 150

The BD UltraPool™ HLM 150 is the first commercially available large donor pool of 150 donors statistically modeled to provide researchers with a high degree of lot-to-lot consistency for CYP and UGT enzyme activity, and to naturally represent the “average patient” and known CYP polymorphisms.

BD UltraPool HLM 150 pool is statistically modeled so that lot-to-lot variability represented as coefficient of variation (CV) is <10% (mean) for the more variable CYP enzyme (CYP2C19), and <5% (mean) for the key drug metabolizing CYPs (CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4). This lot-to-lot consistency is critical for researchers to achieve data consistency for metabolic stability, CYP inhibition and reaction phenotyping assays year after year with multiple HLM lots.
