NiKem Obtains Authorisation For Rodent Toxicology Studies

NiKem Research said that Toxicokinetic (TK) studies are allowed to correlate plasma and/or organ exposure of NCEs (and metabolites) to tolerated doses in toxicology studies.

NiKem Research has provided preclinical support through its in-vitro ADME and in-vivo PK platform not only for numerous drug discovery programs but also as a standalone capability. The availability of acute and sub-chronic toxicology assessment represents a further development in NiKem’s preclinical services.

Giuseppe Giardina, CEO and managing director of NiKem Research, said: “The capability to introduce toxicology studies to the set of services being offered to our clients is a crucial step in the continuing expansion of our preclinical development services; our clients are delighted to fully exploit the one-stop-shop model and perceive this addition as a value for their outsourced drug discovery projects.”
