BACKGROUND: Making clear what kinds of metabolic pathways a drug compound involves in can help researchers understand how the drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted. The characteristics of a compound such as structure, composition and so on directly determine the metabolic pathways it participates in.
