SCDMDG presents:

The Use of BDDCS in Drug Development: The Observations, The Predictions, Understanding the Scientific Basis and The Extensions

Tuesday April 19, 2016
Les Benet, Ph.D.
Professor, Dept. of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences
University of California
San Francisco, CA

Les Benet, PH.D.

About The Meeting

Dr. Benet will examine the utility of the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) and help you understand the interplay of drug metabolizing enzymes and transport proteins as it relates to bioavailability and hepatic elimination. Dr. Benet will discuss:

  • The Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) - A system for predicting in vivo performance of drug products from in vitro measurements
  • Slight modifications of such a Classification system can be useful in predicting:
    • Routes of drug elimination
    • The effects of efflux and absorptive transporters on oral drug absorption
    • When transporter-enzyme interplay will yield clinically significant effects
    • Transporter effects on post-absorptive systemic drug concentrations
    • Drug-drug interaction potential via the relationship to enzyme-transporter interplay

Biography

Dr. Benet, Professor, Department of Biopharmaceutical Sciences, UCSF received honorary doctorates from eight universities. During 1986, Dr. Benet was a founder and first President of AAPS. In 1987 he was elected to membership in the Institute of Medicine of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. His many awards include: AAPS Distinguished Pharmaceutical Scientist (1989); AACP Volwiler Research Achievement (1991); ASCPT Rawls-Palmer Award (1995); APhA Higuchi Research Prize (2000); AAPS Wurster Award in Pharmaceutics (2000); FIP Høst-Madsen Medal (2001). Dr. Benet is listed by Thompson Reuters as one of the most highly cited pharmacologists worldwide, with his published peer-reviewed papers cited more than 20,000 times. His most recent work has addressed the interplay of metabolic enzymes and transport proteins as related to oral bioavailability and hepatic elimination, and the development of the Biopharmaceutics Drug Disposition Classification System (BDDCS). PSWC Research Achievement and CRS Career Achievement in Oral Drug Delivery (2004). His research interests, more than 530 publications and 11 patents are in the areas of pharmacokinetics, biopharmaceutics, drug delivery and pharmacodynamics. In 2004, he was awarded the Pharmaceutical Sciences World Congress Research Achievement Award and the CRS Career Achievement in Oral Drug Delivery Award. In 2007 he was selected as the UCSF Distinguished Clinical Research Lecturer and is still the only non-MD so honored. In 2010, he received the ASCPT Hunter Memorial Award in Therapeutics and in 2011 the ACCP Distinguished Investigator award. In 2012, the September issue of PHARMACEUTICAL RESEARCH was dedicated in his honor under the title "50 Years of Scientific Excellence and Still Going Strong" and he was made an honorary member of FIP. In March 2013, he was awarded the APhA Ebert Prize and the September issue of JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES was dedicated in his honor. In October, 2015 Dr. Benet was awarded the ISSX Scientific Achievement Award. He presently serves on the Boards of Directors of the American Foundation for Pharmaceutical Education, Impax Laboratories, and Medicines360, of which the latter, he chairs.
