Medicilon, as a partner of Yuyao Biotech, provided YY201 with pharmaceutical research services (including raw materials and preparations), preclinical research services (including drug efficacy, pharmacokinetics, safety evaluation) and IND declaration services, helping YY201 successfully pass IND approval and enter the clinical trial stage.

The IND application for the BIOT-001 project targeting the S1P1 target declared by Biotime Biotechnology obtained the US FDA's clinical implied license. Medicilon provided preclinical R&D services from target to IND declaration for the R&D of BIOT-001, and made every effort to complete the project with high quality and efficiency.

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. Medicilon provided preclinical research services such as safety evaluation and pharmacokinetics.

​Medicilon provide complete sets of M9 selenomethionine (SeMET) medium for IPTG-induced E.coli expression system, production of selenomethionine-labeled protein and protein crystallography using multi-wavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD).

​Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most universal age-related neurodegenerative disease. AP39 is a newly synthesized mitochondrially targeted H2S donor on mitochondrial function. AP39 increases intracellular H2S levels, mainly in mitochondrial regions. AP39 exerts dose-dependent effects on mitochondrial activity in APP/PS1 neurons. AP39, a novel mitochondria-targeted H2S donor, was designed and synthesized by Medicilon.

Thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) are ligand-dependent transcription factors that belong to the nuclear receptor superfamily and also participate in important physiological functions. In this study, Compound 16g is a well-characterized selective and mutation-sensitive TRβ agonist for further investigating its function in treating dyslipidemia, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH). Compound 16g showed excellent lipid metabolism, safety, metabolic stability, and pharmacokinetic properties. PK properties of Compound 16g were analyzed by Medicilon.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive and devastating neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by the presence of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and neuroinflammation. Receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily, which functions as a cell surface acceptor for Aβ peptide. RAGE plays an important role in the Aβ-mediated neuronal damage that closely related to the pathogenesis of AD. In this study, Compound 12 showed good dual-target bioactivities against RAGE and SERT in vitro, good liver microsomal stability, and acceptable pharmacokinetic properties. Pharmacokinetic studies were commissioned by Medicilon.

TRIM24 (tripartite motif-containing protein 24) and BRPF1 (bromodomain and PHD finger containing protein 1) are epigenetics "readers”and potential therapeutic targets for cancer and other diseases. Y08624 (Compound 20l) is a new TRIM24/BRPF1 dual inhibitor. Y08624 displays reasonable Caco-2 permeability. Caco-2 permeability assay was performed by Medicilon.

Apoptosis is a cellular process critical to the normal development and homeostasis of multicellular organisms. The inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) are a class of key apoptosis regulators. IAP proteins are attractive cancer therapeutic targets. SM-406 (compound 2) is a potent and orally bioavailable antagonist of the IAPs. Pharmacokinetic (PK) studies of SM-406 (compound 2) in male Sprague Dawley rats, beagle dogs and cynomolgus monkeys (non-human primates) were performed by the Division of Pharmacokinetics and Metabolism, Medicilon. SM-406 (compound 2) has an excellent PK profile and good oral bioavailability in each of these four species.

Gastric cancer is the second most lethal cancer across the world. Compounds 8f, inhibits FGFR1 signaling pathways as well as induces cell apoptosis, is a potential agent for the treatment of gastric cancer. The pharmacokinetical profile (PK) of 8f was tested in SD rats. Compound 8f showed an acceptable half-time of 3 h and displayed moderate maximum concentrations, which is enough to meet the concentration of the compound 8f to exert its efficacy in vivo. The pharmacokinetic analysis was performed by the testing service provided by Medicilon.
