Fudan University, School of Management "Science and Technology Entrepreneur Camp" entered Medicilon: "Hardcore Technology" as the background color, Adding "luster" to new drug research and development

On July 14, Professor Xiongwen Lu, Dean of the School of Management of Fudan University, led the professor group of Fudan School of Management and the students of the fifth phase of the Fudan Science and Technology Entrepreneur Camp into the Zhangjiang Park of Shanghai Medicilon Inc. (Medicilon) to conduct a site visit. Dr. Chunlin Chen, the founder and CEO of Medicilon, and others gave a warm reception. The two parties conducted in-depth exchanges and discussions on technological entrepreneurship, enterprise management, and industry development trends.

In order to experience the development process of Medicilon, Dr. Chunlin Chen led the scientific and technological entrepreneurs to visit the Medicilon cultural wall. Dr. Chen introduced Medicilon has adhered to scientific and technological innovation since its establishment 19 years ago, benchmarked against international frontier fields, increased investment in research and development, and overcome key core technologies. As a result, Medicilon has grown into a rare one-stop biopharmaceutical preclinical R&D service platform in China, helping 1,840 customers to accelerate drug R&D, and 330 drugs that have participated in the R&D have been approved for clinical trials. This visit made the visiting science and technology entrepreneurs truly feel Medicilon's service concept of "innovation-driven, quality first", as well as its solid technological background of daring to overcome difficulties and bravely climb the peak of technology.

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
