Assisting the development of the Chinese new anti-influenza drug ADC189 preparation, Medicilon and AnDiCon Bio reached a collaboration

On October 19, AnDiCon Bio (AnDiCon) officially launched the phase II/III clinical study of ADC189 tablets, a new class 1 anti-influenza drug. The drug is expected to become the first class 1 innovative anti-influenza drug independently developed and approved for marketing in China.

It is worth mentioning that ADC189 will also add new research on pediatric indications while starting the clinical phase II/III trial. Shanghai Medicilon Inc (Medicilon) is fortunate to undertake the formulation R&D of ADC189, helping the class 1 anti-influenza new drug ADC189 to benefit more patients.

ADC189 has launched clinical phase II/III, which is an important breakthrough in the field of anti-infection of the respiratory tract in China, and is also a testimony to the independent R&D strength of AnDiCon. Medicilon, which also focuses on innovation, has vigorously entered the CDMO field in recent years. Currently, Medicilon preparation CDMO can undertake the whole process of preparation R&D from project evaluation, pre-prescription research, preparation process research, quality research, clinical sample production, stability research and registration, which assist the R&D of innovative drugs. A number of innovative drugs have completed formulation development, which were successfully approved for clinical use, through Medicilon's high-end formulation technology platforms, such as inhalation drug research and development platform, ophthalmic drug research and development platform, and topical skin preparation research and development platform.

Up to now, Medicilon has undertaken more than 100 IND application biopharmaceutical projects, including monoclonal antibodies, double antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, ADCs, viral vaccines and fusion proteins. As of May 2022, Medicilon has successfully helped 10 ADC drugs to be approved for clinical trails, and has multiple ADC projects under development. Medicilon has in-depth exchanges with customers in the formulation of the preclinical integrated research plan of ADC. The backbone of scientific research combines the characteristics of each case with years of practical experience and technical accumulation, and carefully submits high-quality experimental plans and results to customers.

What is preclinical testing?

In the process of preclinical testing of a compound or biological agent into a drug, the compound involved must go through the testing phase. First, we need to identify potential targets that can treat the disease. Then, a variety of compounds or preparations are screened out. Any compound that has shown potential as a drug for the treatment of this disease needs to be tested for toxicity before clinical testing to reduce the possibility of injury. preclinical testing What is the basis of preclinical testing? According to US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, a series of tests are required before a new drug is approved for use. In the first stage, basic research determines a hypothetical target for the treatment of a certain disease, and then screens small molecules or biological compounds to discover any substance with the potential to treat the disease. Then, a preclinical research phase followed, before which, as described above, the potential toxicity of the compou

Inventory of the three major in vitro pharmacokinetic research methods

The metabolic properties of a compound are an essential factor in whether or not it can be used as a drug in the clinical setting, so pharmacokinetic studies of newly synthesized compounds are required in drug development. In vitro incubation with liver microsomes, recombinant CYP450 enzyme lines, and in vitro incubation with hepatocytes are some of the more common in vitro drug metabolism methods. 1. In vitro incubation method with liver microsomes The metabolic stability and metabolic phenotypes of candidate compounds in different species of liver microsomes are good predictors of the metabolic properties of compounds in vivo. They are practical tools for evaluating candidate compounds in the pre-development phase of drug development. Liver microsomes include rat liver microsomes, human liver microsomes, canine liver microsomes, monkey liver microsomes, and mouse liver microsomes. In in vitro incubation of the liver, microsomes are the "gold standard" for in vitro d

Novel Parkinson’s Therapies Possible with New Mouse Model

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that is marked by the accumulation of the protein, α-synuclein (αS), into clumps known as Lewy bodies, which diminish neural health. Now, researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) report the development of a mouse model to induce PD-like αS aggregation, leading to resting tremor and abnormal movement control. The mouse responds to L-DOPA, similarly to patients with PD. The team's study (“Abrogating Native α-Synuclein Tetramers in Mice Causes a L-DOPA-Responsive Motor Syndrome Closely Resembling Parkinson’s Disease”) on the use of this transgenic mouse model appears in Neuron . “α-Synuclein (αS) regulates vesicle exocytosis but forms insoluble deposits in PD. Developing disease-modifying therapies requires animal models that reproduce cardinal features of PD. We recently described a previously unrecognized physiological form of αS, α-helical tetramers, and showed that familial PD-causing missense mutati
