Metabolite Safety in Drug Development (eBook)

Suzanne L. Iverson, PhD, ERT, earned her PhD studying reactive drug metabolites and idiosyncratic drug reactions (University of Toronto, Dr. Jack Uetrecht supervisor) and has worked in the pharmaceutical industry for over 14 years as principal scientist and manager of development in vitro/in vivo metabolism and distribution imaging as well as functional project leader for both DMPK and safety assessment functions. Since 2011, she has served on the management committee of the Drug Metabolism Discussion Group, UK, and the Board of the PK-Metabolism subcommittee of the Swedish Pharmaceutical Society. Dennis A. Smith, PhD, currently holds part-time advisory and academic positions and, previously, worked in the pharmaceutical industry for 32 years. He has coauthored over 150 publications, including Attrition in the Pharmaceutical Industry (Wiley, 2016), Reactive Drug Metabolites (Wiley, 2012), and three editions of the book Pharmacokinetics and Metabolism in Drug Design (Wiley, 2012).

"Written by individuals who collectively possess hundreds of years of experience within the drug metabolism field, the wealth of information and insight contained is amazing. The purpose of the tome is to provide the reader with, ?... a comprehensive overview of why and how metabolites are studied during drug development in the pharmaceutical industry? (page 13). This objective is certainly achieved in a lucid, scholarly and engaging manner. I would not hesitate to recommend this book to anyone interested in this subject and also for those who may wish to delve into this area." (ISSX Newsletter, April 2017)
