Programme
Short Course: Drug Transporters in ADME
Sunday 21 May 2017
08:00-15:00
Stockholmsmässan : K13
Introduction words to this short course:
The course will deal with the role of membrane transport proteins in determining the ADME properties of drug candidates and substances. We will give an overview of drug-transporters in barrier tissues, with emphasis on transporters that mediate intestinal absorption/efflux and drug disposition to the brain (transporters in the blood brain barrier). Lectures will cover basic concepts such as flux, permeability, barrier tissue biology, transporter kinetics and transporter structure and function. This will be supplemented with a description of the in vitro methods for studying drug transport/transporters in tissue models. Finally, we will present the EMEA/FDA-guidelines for investigating transporter interactions and discuss how this may be integrated in a drug development context.
