Abstract
Failure to evaluate actual toxicities of investigational molecules in drug discovery is majorly due to inadequate evaluation of their pharmacokinetics. Limitation of conventional drug metabolism profiling procedure demands advancement of existing approaches. Various techniques such as 3D cell culture system, bio microfluidic OoC model, sandwich culture model is in pipeline to be employed at their full potential in drug discovery phase. Although they outweigh the conventional techniques in various aspects, a more detailed exploration of applicability in terms of automation and high throughput analysis is required. This review extensively discusses various ongoing innovations in bioanalytical techniques. The review also proposed various scientific strategies to be adopted for prior assessment of interaction possibilities in translational drug discovery research.
