Increasing Adoption of In-Vivo and In-Vitro Models for Understanding Variability in Pharmacokinetics Boost Asia Pacific Pharmacokinetics Services Market

The collection and handling of huge pharmacokinetic data generated during drug manufacturing are expensive, tedious, and time-consuming tasks. The labor- and cost-intensive nature of these tasks highlights the need for models such as pharmacokinetic simulation models and in vitro-in vivo pharmacokinetic correlation models (IVIVC) for the prediction of pharmacokinetic parameters. The pharmacokinetic simulation model is a tool that interprets drug kinetics in the living environment under specific conditions using computational and mathematical models. In addition, the IVIVC model are a fundamental part of the drug discovery process.

Analyzing PK/PD predictions at the early stages of drug development is necessary for lead optimization strategies and also to further reduce attrition rates. There have been significant advancements in the development of new in-vitro and in-vivo strategies to improve and characterize pharmacokinetic properties. IVIVC models are being proposed as a cost-effective alternative to assess the biopharmaceutical properties that analyze the bioavailability of drugs and their application. Hence, such in-vivo and in-vitro models are anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the Asia Pacific pharmacokinetics services market in the near future.
