In pharmacology, biological activity or pharmacological activity describes the beneficial or adverse effects of a drug on living matter. When a drug is a complex chemical mixture, this activity is exerted by the active ingredient of the substance. However, other components can change this effectiveness.
Among the various properties of chemical compounds, pharmacological or biological activity plays an important role in the use of compounds in medical applications. However, chemical compounds may show some side and toxic effects that prevent their use in medical practice. Activity is generally dose dependent. In increasing from low doses to high doses, a substance has effects ranging from beneficial to negative.
For a compound to be an effective drug, it must not only be effective against a specific target, but also possess the ADME properties necessary to make it suitable for use as a medication. ADME is an abbreviation for absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion in pharmacology. These four criteria affect the compound's performance and pharmacological activity as a drug.
In short, biological activity is the capacity of a given molecular entity to achieve a defined biological effect on a target. This value is measured in terms of the strength or concentration of the molecular entity required to produce the effect.
In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. Biological activity testing services are among the numerous tests carried out in this context.
