Advances in the study of drug metabolism - symposium report of the 12th Meeting of the International Society for the Study of Xenobiotics (ISSX). Drug Metab Rev. 2020 May 26;:1-13 Authors: Russell LE, Schleiff MA, Gonzalez E, Bart AG, Broccatelli F, Hartman JH, Humphreys WG, Lauschke VM, Martin I, Nwabufo C, Prasad B, Scott EE, Segall M, Takahashi R, Taub ME, Sodhi JK Abstract The 12th International Society for the Study of Xenobiotics (ISSX) meeting, held in Portland, OR, USA from July 28 to 31, 2019, was attended by diverse members of the pharmaceutical sciences community. The ISSX New Investigators Group provides learning and professional growth opportunities for student and early career members of ISSX. To share meeting content with those who were unable to attend, the ISSX New Investigators herein elected to highlight the "Advances in the Study of Drug Metabolism" symposium, as it engaged attendees with diverse backgrounds. This session covered a wide range of current topics in drug metabolism research including predicting sites and routes of metabolism, metabolite identification, ligand docking, and medicinal and natural products chemistry, and highlighted approaches complemented by computational modeling. In silico tools have been increasingly applied in both academic and industrial settings, alongside traditional and evolving in vitro techniques, to strengthen and streamline pharmaceutical research. Approaches such as quantu...
