The chemical FTE team of Medicilon can serve clients in different stages of drug development, including the generation and optimization of hit compounds, the identification and optimization of lead compounds, synthesis amplification chemical process research and other services. This collaboration model is based on client and project needs, and can flexibly adjust R&D personnel allocation, experimental plans and project priorities. In addition, the FTE team can not only synthesize according to the synthetic circuit designed by the client, but also reasonably design the synthetic circuit according to the client's idea. Currently, the Medicilon FTE team has successfully empowered many pharmaceutical companies and scientific research institutions around the world to develop drugs in a compliant, safe and efficient manner.

About ABM Therapeutics

ABM Therapeutics is a clinical stage new drug research and development company. The company focuses on the R&D of small molecule drugs that can break through the blood-brain barrier. Its small-molecule targeted inhibitors under development can break through the blood-brain barrier, significantly improve the efficiency of drugs entering the brain, and are expected to solve the problem of brain metastasis of tumors. ABM Therapeutics has developed steadily since its establishment, and has established R&D operation centers in the United States and China. Through independent research and development, the company has built a rich R&D pipeline for brain-injecting drugs, and has become a brain-penetrating kinase drug R&D platform (BPKddTM) for anti-cancer drugs and small-molecule drugs for brain-injecting drugs.

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 tox...

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...

Enzyme Activity Assay Service

Enzymatic assay Lance Assay Alphascreen Assay Z’-LYTE Assay Adapta Assay Kinase-Glo Assay ADP-Glo Assay Ligand Binding Assay ELISA Assay HTRF Assay Enzyme activity assays are laboratory methods for measuring enzymatic activity. They are vital for the study of enzyme kinetics and enzyme inhibition. Enzyme units : Amounts of enzymes can either be expressed as molar amounts, as with any other chemical, or measured in terms of activity, in enzyme units. Medicilon provides various enzyme activity assays for kinases , phosphatases, proteinases, deacetylase, peptidase, esterase, and other enzymes. Our line of well-characterized immunoassays and biochemical kits ensures accurate and reproducible results. Enzyme is a large category of bio-molecules that catalyze various biological processes including metabolic processes, cellular signaling and regulation, cell division and apoptosis. Enzymatic reactions convert substrate molecules into chemically modifi...
