InnoGI Technologies and Simulations Plus Combine Forces to Offer Next-Level Modeling Solutions for the Prediction of Oral Drug Performance
DELFT, Netherlands, April 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- InnoGI Technologies (formerly The TIM Company) is pleased to announce an exciting, market-driven collaboration with Simulations Plus to combine its TIM Technology, part of the InnoGI SurroGUTtm platform, with the GastroPlus® and ADMET Predictor® modelling software offered by Simulations Plus.
Understanding drug behavior following oral administration is important because solubility and absorption profiles affect dosing and efficacy. However, dynamic interactions between sparingly-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients, excipients and the gastrointestinal (GI) environment are oversimplified in all static in vitro dissolution models and are very difficult to model using purely computational (in silico) approaches.
To address these challenges and reshape industry norms, we leverage our unique combination of advanced in vitro dynamic dissolution testing with the TIM Technology, accurately mimicking the physiological conditions of the human GI tract, and the GastroPlus® and ADMET Predictor® software to deliver cutting-edge predictive models.
Behzad Mahdavi, PhD, MBA, CEO of InnoGI Technologies, explains: "By leveraging the unique benefits of our SurroGUTtm platform combined with GastroPlus®, we will generate cutting-edge predictive models and mechanistic in vitro?in vivo correlations (IVIVCs) that far outperform current approaches. This will improve the predictive accuracy of physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models, physiologically-based biopharmaceutics models (PBBMs), and facilitate the development of mechanistic IVIVCs."
InnoGI Technologies is offering GastroPlus® PBPK modelling of oral drug performance in vivo as a standalone service, with the option to integrate in vitro release or dissolution data for a more holistic formulation-oriented approach using advanced TIM Technology or standard US Pharmacopeia (USP) apparatus, and for the development of strong IVIVCs.
About SurroGUTtm and InnoGI Technologies
InnoGI Technologies, formerly The TIM Company, headquartered in Delft, Netherlands, is an innovative CRO and technology provider for the pharmaceutical and food industries. Its SurroGUTtm platform uses advanced in vitro models such as TIM, mimicking the dynamics of the human gut. TIM replicates dynamic pH profiles, peristalsis enzyme secretions and digestive fluid volumes at true-to-life rates. The TIM Technology has been used to evaluate more than 250 active pharmaceutical ingredients in commercial drug products and has guided clients worldwide with decision-making at different stages of oral drug development. This reduces the number of formulation iterations, de-risks clinical trials, and shortens the time to market, as evidenced in more than 260 scientific publications.
