The in vitro test technology platform includes cell laboratories and microbiological laboratories that meet the requirements of biosafety level 2 (BSL-2). Possible in vitro tests include:
● Physical and chemical properties: including dynamic solubility of simulated gastrointestinal fluid, determination of plasma protein (tissue homogenate, liver microsomes and hepatocytes) binding rate by equilibrium dialysis/ultrafiltration
● Drug absorption and transportation: evaluation of transporter substrate, Caco-2 cell permeability, MDCKII cell permeability, IC50 determination: P-gp, BCRP, BSEP, OATP1B1, etc
● Drug metabolism: CYP/UGT phenotype identification, liver microsome/liver S9/liver cell metabolic stability, plasma stability, whole blood stability, etc
● Drug interaction: enzyme inhibition test, enzyme induction test (cell viability test), etc
● Metabolite identification: liver microsome/S9/hepatocyte metabolite identification, liver microsome/S9/hepatocyte metabolite spectrum analysis, etc
