Inadequate target exposure is a major cause of high attrition in drug discovery. Here, we show that a label-free method for quantifying the intracellular bioavailability (F<sub>ic</sub>) of drug molecules predicts drug access to intracellular targets and hence, pharmacological effect. We determined F<sub>ic</sub> in multiple cellular assays and cell types representing different targets from a number of therapeutic areas, including cancer, inflammation, and dementia. Both cytosolic targets and ta ...[more]
