MIST evaluation toolbox – what is in there? Part 1
5 March 2021
Safety testing of drug metabolites is often discussed as ”MIST (metabolites in safety testing) evaluation”, according the guidelines set up by the FDA and ICH. The MIST evaluation is a multi-step approach to ensure human metabolites are safety tested. This can be seen as a MIST toolbox, where each tool is used in a pragmatic approach at the time they become possible and available. It is all about understanding the risk for potential metabolite safety issues early in the development of a candidate drug. In this blog post, Dr Johanna Haglund (Head of Safety Metabolism) sheds light on the metabolites in safety testing theme and how to start the MIST evaluation.Read more
Metabolite identification and profiling – what is it?
1 December 2020
When scientists are developing new drugs, it is important to pay attention also to the drug biotransformation products forming in the body (i.e. metabolites) for a number of reasons. This blog post aims to elucidate what metabolite identification (metID) and profiling is about.Read more
Metabolites in safety testing (MIST) – How to ensure human metabolites are safe
27 January 2020
During drug development, also the safety of drug metabolites should be considered early enough to avoid massive delays in the progress of the project. There are few important things to keep in mind when investigating the safety of human metabolites, and Admescope’s Head of Safely Metabolism Dr Johanna Haglund will highlight these.Read more
