As a professional biomedical company, Creative Peptides is focused on providing cutting-edge metabolite identification (MetID) services to the global scientific research and medical elite, leading the new era of health science. MetID platform, as a high-end service platform for drug metabolism science, specializes in the identification and structural characterization of metabolites, and plays a core role in the safety assessment, effectiveness verification, and understanding of pharmacokinetic characteristics in the process of drug development. The platform relies on cutting-edge analytical technologies, such as liquid chromatograph-high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS), to accurately discover and identify drug metabolites from various biological samples (plasma, urine, tissue samples, etc.), ensuring scientific decision-making at all stages of drug development.
The core functions of the MetID platform
In-depth analysis of metabolic pathways: By combining ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), such as the UPLC-QTOF MS and Orbitrap MS systems, the platform can efficiently isolate and precisely identify the diverse metabolites produced by the oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis and binding reactions of peptide drugs, helping to reveal the metabolic weaknesses of drugs. To guide the optimization of drug structure to improve pharmacokinetic performance (PK).
Precise assessment of metabolic stability: Using liver microsomes, S9 components and primary hepatocyte models, the platform can accurately simulate the metabolic stability of drugs in vitro, providing scientific basis for predicting metabolic trends in vivo, rationally selecting animal models and understanding cross-species metabolic differences.
Precise identification of active metabolites: Clear identification of active metabolites is crucial to understanding the pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of drugs, and the platform provides strategic basis for optimizing the active status of drugs or avoiding the risk of adverse reactions through accurate identification.
Sensitive detection of reactive metabolites: Using GSH capture technology and other means, the platform can detect reactive metabolites that may cause toxic reactions early, preventing safety risks in the later development stage.
Data processing and intelligent analysis: With the integration of advanced software tools such as UNIFI and MetaSense workstations, the platform realizes intelligent, semi-automated and even fully automatic screening and identification of metabolites. Combined with chemometrics, computer-aided prediction and artificial expert systems, the analysis efficiency and accuracy are greatly improved, and false positives and omissions are effectively reduced.
