ADMET-PK & Bioanalytical Services Capabilities Sheet

Integrated ADMET-PK Function for MedChem Decision Support

The bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of any molecule depends on its absorption, metabolism and distribution. Our ADMET-PK & Bioanalytical Support teams are fully integrated with our medicinal chemistry projects to provide fast and efficient decision support for rapid hit seeking, hit-to-lead, lead optimization, candidate selection, and investigational toxicity. In support of preclinical and clinical development, SCYNEXIS performs analyses of compounds in a wide variety of matrices. SCYNEXIS can also customize protocols and reports based on therapeutic areas and customer’s specifications. Our ADMET-PK & Bioanalytical Team leadership consists of experienced veterans from large pharmaceutical development companies and organizations including GSK, RTI and Eli Lilly.
