Key Physicochemical Characteristics Influencing ADME Properties of Therapeutic Proteins

Xing Jing et al. Adv Exp Med Biol. 2019.

Abstract

Therapeutic proteins are a rapidly growing class of drugs in clinical settings. The pharmacokinetics (PK) of therapeutic proteins relies on their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties. Moreover, the ADME properties of therapeutic proteins are impacted by their physicochemical characteristics. Comprehensive evaluation of these characteristics and their impact on ADME properties are critical to successful drug development. This chapter summarizes all relevant physicochemical characteristics and their effect on ADME properties of therapeutic proteins.

Keywords: ADME; Pharmacokinetics (PK); Physicochemical characteristics; Protein therapeutics.
