Computational approaches for toxicology and Pharmacokinetic properties prediction

Abstract

Pharmacokinetics and toxicological studies how the body reacts to a specific administered substance, such as a drug, toxin, or food. Each substance experiences these four steps: absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, which are the main parameters in pharmacokinetics studies. Many toxic endpoints exist. There are three main ways to measure toxicology and pharmacokinetic parameters: in vivo, in vitro, and in-silico. Knowing toxicological and pharmacokinetic parameters before developing a new drug candidate could save time and resources, as clinical studies are highly cost-demanding. This review aims to gather studies using in-silico methodologies to predict pharmacokinetic properties.

Keywords: Machine learning; Pharmacokinetics; Predicting; Toxicology.
