World Stroke Day: Evaluation of Animal Drug Efficacy Models for the Development of Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Drugs

 Animal Drug Efficacy Models for the Development of Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Drugs

October 29th, 2022, is the seventeenth “World Stroke Day.” “World Stroke Day” was established by the World Stroke Organization (World Stroke Organization) to call for strengthening public awareness of stroke globally.

Stroke is the scientific name of cerebralvascular accident, which generally refers to ischemic or hemorrhagic diseases of the heart, brain and tissues of the whole province caused by hyperlipidemia, blood clotting, atherosclerosis, hypertension, etc. It is a sudden onset of cerebral blood circulation disorders. The clinical manifestations are mainly characterized by sudden dizziness, unconsciousness, or sudden deviated eyes, hemiplegia, and intellectual disability. Stroke mainly includes ischemic stroke (transient ischemic attack, atherosclerotic thrombotic cerebral infarction, lacunar cerebral infarction, cerebral embolism) and hemorrhagic stroke (cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage).

Stroke is known as “the number one killer of human health” because of its high prevalence, high morbidity, high mortality and high disability rate. In China, the annual treatment cost of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is 540.6 billion yuan. The annual treatment cost of cerebrovascular diseases accounts for 25.68% of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Among them, ischemic stroke accounts for 18% and hemorrhagic stroke accounts for 7%.

Although the annual treatment cost of stroke is so high, there is still a problem that there are few drugs for clinical specific treatment, and there is a huge gap in the demand for clinical drugs. Therefore, the market potential of stroke drugs is great and the development prospect is good.

For the preclinical development of stroke drugs, the two mountains of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics cannot be avoided, and the models used in both pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are particularly important.

Medicilon's Rodent Cerebrovascular Disease Drug Efficacy Evaluation System

Model evaluation is a critical step in testing results. Medicilon strictly follows the STAIR preclinical drug development strategy for stroke, and has rich experience in MCAO model establishment and a mature MCAO model system evaluation system.

Summary and Outlook

In recent years, with the continuous development of biomedical technology, more and more stroke drugs have gone from the target to the stage of preclinical testing. We believe the problem will be solved soon！

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...
