Virtual journey through the body: Software simulates drug absorption

Before a drug reaches its ultimate site of action in the body, it has to overcome a number of obstacles such as passage through the intestinal wall or through the liver. Until recently, the only way to identify the exact pathway was by means of lengthy experimentation. Two Bayer researchers have now developed a computer program that simulates the complex obstacle course encountered by an active substance as it passes through the bodies of humans and animals.
