Medicilon was selected as "2023 Science and Technology Innovation Board Hard and Core Technology Leading Enterprise"

On September 27, the "STAR Summit" was grandly held in Shanghai. The Summit announced the selection list for the fourth anniversary of science and technology innovation.

Shanghai Medicilon Inc (Medicilon) has been selected as a " 2023 Science and Technology Innovation Board Hard and Core Technology Leading Enterprise" based on its hard-core advantages in biopharmaceutical technology innovation over the years.

Technological innovation is the key to winning the future, and it is also what Medicilon is committed to pursuing. Over the past 19 years, Medicilon has continued to increase investment in research and development, focusing on cutting-edge fields such as nucleic acid drugs, cellular immunity, mRNA vaccines, PROTAC, ADC, bi/multi-specific antibodies and established an innovative service platform to help promote the "hard core" of drugs. In order to deepen the collaboration between the industry, academia and research institutions, Medicilon also established Medicilon Academician Innovation and Maturity Center, successfully signed the school-enterprise strategic collaboration with China Pharmaceutical University, and reached strategic collaboration with AI pharmaceutical companies such as Insilico Medicine and MindRank to assist the "hard-core" transformation of scientific and technological achievements. In addition, Medicilon also strengthened the construction of scientific and technological innovation talent teams, deepen the reform of talent development systems and mechanisms, support young people to take up the leading role in scientific and technological innovation, and help the "hard-core" growth of talents.

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
