Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) give rise to all the blood cell types and are important for cell therapy and drug development. During the development of lymphoid and myeloid lineages, HSC differentiate into committed hematopoietic progenitors. Monitoring the expansion and differentiation of HSCs into lineage-commited hematopoietic progenitors is important for research of hematopoiesis and developing therspeutic processes with HSCs

The Transcreener® ADP2 Universal Kinase Assay from BellBrook Labs is readily performed on BMG LABTECH microplate readers using different assay formats
, BMG LABTECH

The Transcreener® ADP2 FI assay kit from BellBrook Labs is a simple one-step competitive red fluorescence immunoassay based on the detection of ADP. In this application note we show that this assay is compatible with four different microplate readers from BMG LABTECH. With the PHERAstar FS and Plus, as well as the POLARstar and FLUOstar Omegas comparable standard curves and EC50 values were obtained.

Predicting hepatotoxicity: Reactive metabolite trapping using glutathione and freshly isolated hepatocytes

Department of In Vitro Sciences, Quotient Bioresearch (Rushden) Ltd

This poster presents our results to date using clozapine (a compound known to be associated with GSH-adduct formation) as substrate and using stable isotope GSH (GSH13C2,15N) to enhance specificity. In addition, all analyses have been conducted using an Waters Acquity UPLC-MS/MS. Results we have obtained in hepatocytes are compared against findings using human liver microsomes (HLM).

In-silico Prediction of Human Intestinal Absorption and human oral bioavailability
Aixia Yan*,
Beijing University of Chemical Technology

Human intestinal absorption (HIA) and human oral bioavailability are two important ADME properties in drug design. We built some in-silico models for classification of human intestinal absorption (HIA) and human oral bioavailability by Kohonen’s self-organizing Neural Network (KohNN), and several quantitative models for prediction of HIA and bioavailability of several subset compounds datasets by Support Vector Machine (SVM).

Label-Free High Throughput Homogeneous ADME Assays

SoPRano is a novel label-free screening platform using specifically derivatised gold nanoparticles in solution form. It enables SPR-based screening in high throughput using simple homogenous assay protocols on a standard absorbance plate-reader. SoPRano is flexible and can be applied to many affinity screening applications.

A Walk-Up ADME Testing System for Medicinal Chemists and Pharmacologists
Muhammad Alimuddina, Martin Peacock, Russell Dahl, Omar Jina, and Paul Oakley, Syrris Ltd

VivADME was born with the fusion of a problem and a solution: recognition by a Medicinal Chemist that ADME data took too long to obtain, and, the realization that microfluidic tools could address the problem. The vivADME microfluidics solution means that ADME profiling can be performed in minutes with microgram-scale samples in a walk-up system with a very low cost per sample.
