Join Medicilon at ELRIG Drug Discovery 2023 - Diverse Thinking, New Perspectives

ELRIG Drug Discovery 2023 is only one week to go! Medicilon is excited to exhibit in the conference. This time, you can not only visit our table Stand H1, but also focus the speech “CHEMISTRY ENABLING DRUG DISCOVERY FROM START TO CLINIC” by our EVP and Head of IDSU, Dr. Xuedong Dai on October 19, 2023, 12:35-12:50.

The field of late-stage functionalization is rapidly evolving to meet the growing demand for expanding accessible chemical space, particularly from the area of drug discovery and development. Our presentation highlights the recent advancements in late-stage C-H bond functionalization (peripheral editing) and single-atom core modification (skeletal editing). These remarkable breakthroughs hold immense potential to enhance the efficiency of drug discovery process in the pharmaceutical industry.

We are happy to meet you in person to discuss how our services and capabilities would support your current research needs and expedite your drug discovery and development programs.

Date: 18-19 OCTOBER

Location: ACC LIVERPOOL EXHIBITION CENTRE

Medicilon Drug Discovery Services

Medicilon drug discovery services include chemistry (synthetic chemistry, medicinal chemistry) and biology. In terms of chemistry, it can undertake multi-dimensional business such as custom synthesis, compound library construction, SAR compound synthesis and screening, compound structure and biological activity optimization.

The medicinal chemistry team deeply cross-integrates chemistry and biology into each project, and flexibly uses the powerful expertise of computational chemistry to aid the compound design process. At the same time, Medicilon extensively uses advanced drug discovery technology, including AI, PROTAC, ADC antibody drug conjugation technology, etc. Medicilon efficiently promotes customers' drug research and development projects, controls costs, and improves quality!

Medicilon Chemistry Research Services

With the rapid development of the global pharmaceutical market and the division of labor in the pharmaceutical industry, the chain is becoming more and more refined, making specialized outsourcing in the pharmaceutical industry an important strategic choice for pharmaceutical companies. In the early stages of new drug development, FTE (Full-time equivalent) is often used by drug discovery companies to synthesize the required structural fragments and/or potential candidate compounds to accelerate the drug screening process.Medicilon provides comprehensive chemistry research services covering all stages of your project requirements, and customers can cooperate with us through the FFS (Fee for Service) or FTE (Full-time Equivalent Service) models.

Global-leading New Molecule Types R&D Platform

PROTAC

PROTACs offer a fast and reversible chemical knock-down approach to control protein function in the cell. The impact of the PROTAC platform has changed the landscape of drug discovery and development. Medicilon’s PROTAC drug discovery technology platform covers many of the popular target protein ligands. We have established an extensive collection of bifunctional linkers. Together with our expanding E3 ubiquitin ligase binder library, we can efficiently synthesize highly active PROTAC bispecific small molecules, which have the potential to significantly facilitate the drug development process. In addition, Medicilon has established as well as improved the PROTAC biological screening and testing platform throughout the pre-clinical stages. Medicilon’s strong technical expertise and flexible service models allow individualized and customized projects ranging from sole chemical synthesis to in vitro and/or in vivo service, and to more comprehensive integrated package support. As of the end of 2022, Medicilon has successfully assisted in the clinical approval of 3 PROTAC drugs by NMPA and/or FDA.

Medicilon has:

• Know-how: > 6 years PROTACs experience

• Comprehensiveness: > 20 ongoing projects

• Talent: > 300 dedicated well-trained chemists

• Team: > 300 dedicated well-trained chemists

• Building Block: > 300 advanced linkers Available

• Scaffold: > 150 E3 ligands available including Cereblon, VHL, MDM2, IAP, etc.

Attributed by its fast and intuitive design of base sequences, the development of nucleic acid drugs is featured with simple materials, convenient preparation processes and affordable production costs, which will greatly shorten the drug development cycle, making it possible to customize individual treatment plans. Hence, it offers a feasible solution for rare diseases and other problems currently plagued.

Antibody

With the development of antibody technology, antibody now presents a good development prospect. While major companies are deploying antibody product research and development, they also pay great attention to what needs to be paid attention to and considered in the biological analysis of antibody. Regulations and technical points. The Pharmaceutical Analysis Department of Medicilon Biotechnology is committed to tailoring Case by Case biological analysis methods for customers. As of the end of 2022, Medicilon has successfully assisted in the clinical approval of 17 monoclonal antibody drugs and 7 bispecific antibody drugs by NMPA, FDA, and TGA.
