Pharmacokinetic research is to reveal the dynamic changes of the drug in the body through the research methods of animal in vivo, external and human in vitro, obtain the basic kinetic parameters of the drug, clarify the process and characteristics of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion. Pharmaceutics, pharmacodynamics, safety evaluation research and clinical research are of great significance.
The toxicokinetics study used repeated doses of the toxicity test dose to study the dynamic changes of drugs in vivo, and obtained pharmacokinetic data. It is usually carried out in conjunction with repeated administration of toxicity tests. If appropriate parameters are determined, repeated tests can be avoided. Toxicokinetics is an integral part of the design of non-clinical trials. In understanding the results of toxicity studies and comparing them with clinical data to evaluate safety for humans, the focus is on interpreting the results of toxicity tests and increasing the value of safety assessment data.
