The Latest TOP10 Ranking of Global CRO Companies

Former Fierce Markets writer and current independent writer Arsalan Arif recently published the latest ranking of global CRO companies. Let me share with you here that the ranking is based on market value. The data source is mainly based on the financial reports of listed companies, while the unlisted companies are estimated by reliable information sources (unit: billion US dollars). Since the founding of our company in 2004, Medicilon has grown into one of the professional drug discovery contract research organizations (CRO) in China.

Quintiles has undoubtedly continued to rank No. 1 in the market value ranking of CRO companies. Dennis Gillings co-founded Quintiles with several other partners in 1982. Quintiles has since been involved in clinical trials of pharmaceutical companies. With expertise and expertise in clinical trials, business capabilities surpassed employers, and soon became one of the few CRO companies in the world, until now Quintiles is still the world’s largest CRO company.

After the CRO industry has undergone a series of integrations, many small companies have merged into large companies. The gap between companies has gradually narrowed and industry competition has become increasingly fierce. The areas covered by the entire CRO industry service are also expanding. From candidate compounds, to early clinical trials, to the final market promotion, CRO companies participate in the entire process. As the entire industry continues to evolve, many outstanding companies have come to the fore, including PPD, Parexel, Icon, PRA Health Sciences, Covance, INC Research / inVentiv Health, and local company Wuxi AppTec (Wuxi).

In order to keep itself in an invincible position in the fierce competition, strengthen the integration with cross-fields, especially highlight the strategic position of data resources, last year, Quintiles and IMS Health completed the merger, IMS Health is the world’s largest provider of doctor prescription data , Also provides drug pricing and market services for pharmaceutical companies.

Another way to strengthen itself is through synergies between peers, including LabCorp’s acquisition of Covance, and the merger of INC and inVentiv Health.

This time, the CRO companies are ranked from the perspective of market capitalization. Both the market capitalization data and the number of employees are derived from corporate documents/financial reports, and the deadline is set on August 30. The two companies ranked 10th, which is for reference by the original author. The conclusion reached after the opinions of industry professionals.

A Nickel-Catalyzed Reductive Alkylation of Aryl Bromides and Chlorides for Sp3-Sp2 Bond Formation

In 2012, a nickel-catalyzed reductive alkylation method of aryl bromides and chlorides was reported. Under the optimized conditions, a variety of aryl and vinyl bromides as well as active aryl chloride can be reductively coupled with alkyl bromides in high yields. The protocols were highly functional-group tolerant and the reactions were not air or moisture sensitive. The reaction showed different chemoselectivity than conventional cross-coupling reactions. Substrates bearing both anelectrophilic and nucleophilic carbon resulted in selective coupling at the electrophilic carbon (R-X) and no reaction occurred at the nucleophilic carbon (R-[M]). The 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling, and in the past decade the progress in cross-coupling has not only had a significant impact on academic research but has also influenced the industrial synthetic application. The transition-metal-catalyzed union of nucleophilic organo-boronic acids with elect...

What is Toxicokinetics?

Toxicokinetics is essentially the study of “how a substance gets into the body and what happens to it in the body”. Four processes are involved in toxicokinetics. The study of the kinetics (movement) of chemicals was originally conducted with pharmaceuticals and thus the term pharmacokinetics became commonly used. In addition, toxicology studies were initially conducted with drugs. However, the science of toxicology has evolved to include environmental and occupational chemicals as well as drugs. Toxicokinetics is thus the appropriate term for the study of the kinetics of all toxic substances. Frequently the terms toxicokinetics , pharmacokinetics , or disposition may be found in the literature to have the same meaning. Disposition is often used in place of toxicokinetics to describe the time-course of movement of chemicals through the body (that is, how does the body dispose of a xenobiotic?). The disposition of a toxicant along with its’ biological reactivi...
