Our core business is the study of pharmacokinetics in the human brain at early preclinical stages using accurate predictive models and recent tools developed from human brain tissues. These tools include a proprietary blood-brain barrier model and fresh human brain slices that preserve physiological functions. We also have a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model called Brain Exposure Prediction that provides in vivo time-curves of drug concentration in the brain based on in vitro generated pharmacokinetic parameters. BrainPlotting supports preclinical development plans and screening through these models and tools.

Human data
from preclinical stages
To that end, we have developed in vitro and ex vivo tools from fresh
Human brain tissues, such as a Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) proprietary
model, and fresh Human brain slices which preserve physiological
functional properties.
Our PBPK (Physiologically Based PK) model, Brain Exposure Prediction
model (BEP), provides also in vivo time-curves of drug free
concentration in the brain based on in vitro generated PK brain
parameters.
BrainPlotting is a CRO for screening purposes or for custom R&D
BrainPlotting supports you in designing preclinical development plans for your drug
Brain Exposure Prediction
Our core business is the study of pharmacokinetics (PK) in the Human brain at early
preclinical stage by using the most accurate predictive models and most recent tools.
