This article contains a pharmacokinetics reference table ("PK cheat sheet") with common cross-species physiological parameters relevant to PK, including animal size, liver blood flow, kidney blood flow, and body volumes. When interpreting compound pharmacokinetic (PK) data, it's helpful to have reference values to compare experimental data to [...]
Understanding how a small molecule ligand binds to its target is valuable in drug discovery, because it enables more efficient optimization through structure-based design, better mechanistic understanding of molecular pharmacology, and greater confidence in the therapeutic hypothesis from both safety and efficacy perspectives. Recently, Drug Hunter highlighted methods for target identification when the target is unknown.
