Medicilon Assist - The IND application for the first new drug NB002 of Neologics Bioscience was approved by the FDA for clinical application

 Recently, Neologics Bioscience announced that its research and development pipeline NB002 for the treatment of solid tumors has successfully passed the review of the US FDA and agreed to conduct phase I clinical trials (IND number: 165196).

Shanghai Medicilon Inc, as a partner of Neologics Bioscience, provided preclinical research services such as safety evaluation and pharmacokinetics for NB002, and assisted its IND application successfully obtain FDA clinical approval.  Novel humanized TIM-3 antibody NB002 is expected to open up a new path for tumor immunotherapy.

NB002 of Neologics Bioscience.webp

NB002, independently developed by Neologics Bioscience, is a monoclonal therapeutic antibody targeting a unique epitope of TIM-3, which has a significant single-drug anti-tumor therapeutic effect.  It not only significantly activates the activity of T and NK cells and enhances their anti-tumor ability, but more importantly, NB002 rebuilds the suppressed innate immunity in the tumor environment, restores the ability of DC cells to respond, improves the antigen presentation function of myeloid cells, and holistically relieves the inhibitory effect of TIM-3 from natural immunity to acquired immunity, effectively enhancing tumor immune killing ability.  The company is committed to the innovation of Best in Class and First in Class biological immunotherapy, integrating a powerful computer data mining, analysis and phenotypic target verification system to ensure the sustainable development of the pipeline.

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...
