Subcellular Drug Distribution Research Services for Radiopharmaceuticals
Rdcthera provides research services on in vitro subcellular drug distribution in radiopharmaceuticals and radionuclides. We have fully mastered the ability to conduct detailed, precise analyses of the subcellular distribution of these compounds, enabling our clients to make or derive very key, important information about their pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. In these regards, considering the newest technologies and pioneering methodologies foreshire, we can provide a solid package of services to support radiopharmaceutical development and optimization.
Introduction to Subcellular Drug Distribution
Subcellular drug distribution refers to their localization and movement within the various organelles and compartments of a cell. In radiopharmaceuticals, due to specifically targeted therapeutic and diagnostic applications, the analysis of subcellular distribution is very prime. Accurate sub-cellular distribution data aid in understanding the mechanism of action of the drug, their efficacy, and possible toxicity. This information can aid in the design of better delivery systems and increases the therapeutic index of radiopharmaceuticals.

Our Subcellular Drug Distribution Research Services
At Rdcthera, we offer services ranging from A to Z in the activities relating to the subcellular distribution analysis of radiopharmaceuticals and radiolabeled compounds.
Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis
We quantify radiopharmaceuticals with high accuracy inside subcellular compartments without the requirement for any additional labeling. This allows for measurements of the concentrations of drugs within various organelles and thus provides very useful information about drug distribution and accumulation.
Transporter Assays
The transporter assays will help in understanding the contribution of an individual organelle membrane transporter to the subcellular radiopharmaceutical distribution. This goes a long way in understanding the drug transport across the membranes of organelles, which is highly essential information in the optimization of the delivery process of drugs.
Modeling of Subcellular Drug Distribution
We apply advanced computational models in the simulation of the subcellular distribution of radiopharmaceuticals. The models set a stride in predicting the behavior of drugs within cells, offering insights that can guide experimental design and drug development.
Molecular PK/PD Consulting
Our team of experts provides strategic consulting from the design to interpretation of your subcellular drug distribution studies, experimental design, data analysis, and integration of subcellular distribution data into some of the broader PK/PD models.
Advanced Analytical Techniques
We apply a range of advanced analytical techniques for high-quality data, including
Visualization and quantification of radiopharmaceuticals in cells.
High-resolution imaging of radiolabeled compounds.
Provides high resolution, quantitative elemental analysis and mappings.
Screening elements gives details on the elemental composition of subcellular compartments.
Detection and quantification of trace elements inside cells.
