Glyconanoparticle Pharmacokinetic Study Service
Overview
In the biomedical field, glyconanoparticles are highly sought after for their unique biocompatibility, targeting, and drug-delivery capabilities. CD BioGlyco provides reliable Glyconanoparticle Development, Characterization, and Preclinical Study services. We provide pharmacokinetic study services for glyconanoparticles to gain an in-depth understanding of their behavior in vivo and in vitro, including key processes such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and half-life.
Uncovering Glyconanoparticles: An In-Depth Look at Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetics is the science of quantitatively studying the dynamics of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion in living organisms, and elucidating the relationship between drug concentration at different sites and time. We have abundant In Vitro Models and In Vivo Models for glyconanoparticle pharmacokinetic studies.
Absorption Study
Our company evaluates the absorption efficiency of glyconanoparticles in different tissues or organs by simulating physiological conditions, providing data support for the optimization of the drug delivery system.
Distribution Study
Our company utilizes advanced imaging techniques and bioanalytical methods to track the distribution pathways of glyconanoparticles, revealing their targeting and tissue penetration capabilities.
Metabolism Study
Our company provides services to analyze the metabolic pathways and metabolites of glyconanoparticles in living organisms, and to assess their effects and potential toxicity on biological systems.
Excretion Study
Our company provides excretion monitoring services for glyconanoparticles, including urinary, fecal, and other excretion routes, to provide support for drug safety and pharmacokinetic parameters.
Half-life Study
Our company determines the half-life of glyconanoparticles by monitoring their concentration in the body over time, which is critical for evaluating drug duration and dose design.
We have an experienced research team and a specialized GlycoNano™ Platform with powerful testing and analysis capabilities to perform a wide range of flexible tests. Specific services include the following:
In Vitro Studies
- The active substance in glyconanoparticles is only effective if it is released at a specific site and binds to its target. Therefore, we look at the cell as a microscopic organism and study the mode of entry of glyconanoparticles into the cell and the intracellular and subcellular drug content at the target site.
- Our researchers provide kinetic analysis of glyconanoparticle uptake, transport, distribution, metabolism, and excretion in the cell, and elucidate the disposition of glyconanoparticles in the cell through mathematical modeling, which helps clients to comprehensively elucidate the mechanism of action of glyconanoparticles in the cell.
In Vivo Studies
- Tissue ultrastructure distribution and blood biochemical index: Our company provides many types of animal models for pharmacokinetic studies such as mouse, rat, guinea pig, rabbit, and monkey. Our researchers measure the distribution of glyconanoparticles in various organs of animals, blood concentration-time profiles, and effects on blood biochemical indices by collecting blood and organs after glyconanoparticle injection.
- Analysis of factors influencing the in vivo pharmacokinetics of glyconanoparticles: Our lab mainly provides effect analysis of particle size, surface charge, surface properties, and particle shape on in vivo pharmacokinetics of glyconanoparticles.
Workflow

Results: In this study, glucose-modified zein (GZ) nanoparticles loaded with docetaxel (DTX) (DTX-GNPs) were prepared, characterized, and evaluated in vitro and in vivo for cellular uptake, absorption sites, pharmacokinetics, in vitro distribution, and antitumor effects. Glucose modification significantly enhanced the absorption of DTX-NPs in the jejunum and ileum. The enhanced tumor targeting of GZ-NPs is related to their particle size, surface charge, and glucose modifications.GZ-NPs reduced the toxicity of docetaxel in the liver, kidney, and lung and improved its safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the factors that influence intracellular drug metabolism?
- Cell type: drugs are metabolized differently in different cell lines, such as enterocytes, hepatocytes, tumor cells, etc.
- Intracellular substances: transporters, metabolic enzymes, pH, and electrochemical gradients in the cell are important factors affecting drug metabolism.
- The nature of the drug itself: e.g., drug polarity, dosage form, presence or absence of chemical modifications, and surface charge affects its metabolism in cells.
- What are the methods used to study cellular metabolic kinetics?
Our company often uses electron microscopy, flow cytometry, laser scanning confocal microscopy, HPLC, and LC-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to analyze cellular metabolic kinetics.
Based on a high-quality GlycoNano™ platform, CD BioGlyco provides professional glyconanoparticle pharmacokinetic study services including absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and half-life studies. If you are interested in our preclinical studies, please feel free to contact us.
