In preclinical respiratory studies, traditional methods like plethysmography often require animal restraint and extensive acclimation, limiting their ability to capture dynamic respiratory changes. To overcome these challenges, IPS Therapeutique Inc. validated a novel telemetry-based technique for continuous monitoring of intrapleural pressure and respiratory patterns in conscious, freely ...
Introduction PEGylation, the process of attaching polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains to therapeutic molecules, has become a cornerstone in pharmaceutical development. This technique improves the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of drugs, enhancing their stability, solubility, and circulation time while reducing immunogenicity. Since its first FDA-approved application in 1990 with ...
Pharmaceutical manufacturers face growing challenges in ensuring product quality, maintaining regulatory compliance, and safeguarding against counterfeit drugs. Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is an important tool in this arena, offering rapid, non-destructive analysis for raw material identification, impurity detection, and counterfeit screening. By integrating NIR spectroscopy ...
This diversity allows for the metabolism of a wide range of compounds, influencing the pharmacological effects and toxicity of drugs.
