Metabolite profiling identifies the molecular masses of the modified or breakdown products derived from a test therapeutic. This is an important step toward their chemical identification. When using a cell culture source, such products can be numerous. From live animals, the slowly excreted products predominate. Metabolites that persist in vivo may require additional bioactivity characterization.
Cytoscient offers metabolite profiling services using the best available mass spectroscopy instrumentation. Cytoscient can perform the required in vitro experiments, or simply analyze processed samples submitted by customers.
