These studies help determine the viability of a drug candidate by answering several key questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How much of the drug is absorbed and how quickly? (bioavailability)<\/li>\n<li>Where is the drug distributed within the body? What is the rate and extent of the distribution?<\/li>\n<li>How fast is the drug metabolized? What is the mechanism of action? What metabolite is formed and is it active or toxic?<\/li>\n<li>How is the drug excreted and how quickly?<\/li>\n<li>Does this drug have a toxic effect to body systems or organs?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/blog\/connectedlab\/the-role-of-adme-toxicology-studies-in-drug-discovery-development\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/blog\/connectedlab\/what-is-a-lims\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">What is a LIMS?<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>A laboratory information management system (LIMS) helps improve productivity and efficiency in the laboratory by tracking data associated with samples, experiments, workflows and instruments.
