Active metabolomics: exploring metabolic activity in organisms

Active metabolomics is a scientific method to study the activity of metabolites in organisms. It analyzes the changes in metabolites in organisms to understand the metabolic state of organisms under specific physiological or pathological conditions. The use of active metabolomics to identify bioactive metabolites can help us deeply understand the metabolic process of organisms, discover new drug targets, and study the occurrence and development mechanisms of diseases.

The following are general steps for identifying bioactive metabolites using active metabolomics:

1. Sample collection: Collect biological samples in different physiological or pathological states, such as cells, tissues, blood, urine, etc.

2. Metabolite extraction: Extract metabolites from the sample. Commonly used methods include solvent extraction, solid phase extraction, etc.

3. Metabolite analysis: Use chromatography-mass spectrometry and other techniques to analyze the extracted metabolites to obtain information such as the molecular weight and mass spectrum of the metabolites.

4. Metabolite identification: Metabolites are identified by comparing known metabolite databases, mass spectra and other information.

5. Biological activity measurement: For the identified active metabolites, biological activity measurement can be performed to determine its physiological or pathological function.

6. Result analysis: Combine the identification results of metabolites and biological activity measurement results to analyze the metabolic state of the organism and explore its role in the occurrence and development of diseases.

Through the above steps, we can use active metabolomics to identify bioactive metabolites, further understand the metabolic processes and functions of organisms, and provide new ideas and methods for drug development and disease treatment.

The Launch Meeting was Held by Medicilon and DAC Biotech of the Contract Research on ADC Preclinical Study

  Chuansha, Shanghai, Nov. 8th, 2019 — Medicilon held the launch meeting with Hangzhou DAC Biotech Co., Ltd to initiate the   preclinical study   of the antibody-drug-conjugate (ADC)  DXC005, including the   pharmacology study ,   DMPK study   and the   safety evaluation . Medicilon has previously completed integrated  preclinical research  on ADC drugs cooperating with DAC Biotech and other companies. Two of them has been approved by NMPA and entered Phase I clinical trials. About Hangzhou DAC Biotech Co., Ltd Hangzhou DAC Biotech, Co., Ltd was officially registered in HEDA Area, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, China around the end of Year 2012, and is located nearby the bank of beautiful Qiantang River. The company focuses on developing conjugate of monoclonal antibody and small molecular cytotoxic drug, both of which are banded together with smart linkers. About Antibody-Drug-Conjugate (ADC) ADCs ...

Medicilon assisted Hangzhou DAC Biotech in approval of clinical study of ADC drug DAC-002

  On July 20, 2020, DAC Biotech’s new   ADC drug development , TROP2-ADC—DAC-002 was approved of clinical study by NMPA. for the indication of solid malignant tumor. Medicilon completed   preclinical pharmacokinetic  and toxicological studies in this project, accelerating the development process. DAC-002 is an ADC anti-Trop2 monoclonal antibody conjugated by an intelligent ligand against Tubulysin B analogue. It is used to treat Trop2 triple negative breast cancer, small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and pancreatic cancer.Trop2 can promote the proliferation, invasion, metastasis and diffusion of tumor cells, and its high expression is closely related to the shortening of survival time and poor prognosis of tumor patients. Therefore, it is of great significance to study anti-tumor drugs targeted by Trop2.
