Pharmacokinetic data obtained jointly by the drug metabolism group and the pharmaceutical chemist are essential to the selection of the proper dosage form for preclinical and Phase I studies. Subsequent biopharmaceutic studies aid in the development of alternate dosage forms and in devising suitable
## Abstract Metabolism by the host organism is one of the most important determinants of the pharmacokinetic profile of a drug. High metabolic lability usually leads to poor bioavailability and high clearance. Formation of active or toxic metabolites will have an impact on the pharmacological and t
This short review is an attempt to illustrate, with a few specific examples, how useful the results of drug metabolism studies are to the medicinal chemist who is seeking to improve the physiological properties of a potential new medicinal agent. The medicinal chemist must keep abreast of the studie
