Abstract
We developed a novel drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) analysis platform named DruMAP. This platform consists of a database for DMPK parameters and programs that can predict many DMPK parameters based on the chemical structure of a compound. The DruMAP database includes curated DMPK parameters from public sources and in-house experimental data obtained under standardized conditions; it also stores predicted DMPK parameters produced by our prediction programs. Users can predict several DMPK parameters simultaneously for novel compounds not found in the database. Furthermore, the highly flexible search system enables users to search for compounds as they desire. The current version of DruMAP comprises more than 30,000 chemical compounds, about 40,000 activity values (collected from public databases and in-house data), and about 600,000 predicted values. Our platform provides a simple tool for searching and predicting DMPK parameters and is expected to contribute to the acceleration of new drug development.
