Discovery of novel dual RAGE/SERT inhibitors for treatment of Alzheimer's disease and depression. Pharmacokinetic studies were commissioned 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.

Discovery and synthesis of a new class of selective TNIK inhibitors and evaluation of their anti-colorectal cancer effects, the pharmacokinetic properties was carried out by Medicilon

2023-07-11

The Traf2- and Nck-interacting protein kinase (TNIK) is a downstream signal protein of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and has been thought of as a potential target for the treatment of colorectal cancer. SAR analysis leads to the identification of a number of potent TNIK inhibitors with Compound 21k being the most active one. Preliminary assessment for the pharmacokinetic properties of Compound 21k was carried out through services provided by Medicilon.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of CBP bromodomain inhibitors for the treatment of prostate cancer. PK evaluation, liver microsomal stability assay, and Caco-2 permeability assay were performed at Medicilon

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers and the leading cause of cancer mortalities in men. CREB (cyclic-AMP responsive element binding protein) binding protein (CBP) is a potential target for prostate cancer treatment. Researchers designed 1-(Indolizin-3-yl)ethan-1-ones as CBP bromodomain inhibitors for the treatment of prostate cancer. Pharmacokinetic properties evaluation were analyzed by Medicilon. Liver microsomal stability assay were performed at Medicilon. Caco-2 permeability assay was analyzed by Medicilon.

SLL-1206 is a kappa opioid receptor agonist with substantially improved physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties

2023-07-11

The search for selective kappa opioid receptor (κOR) agonists with an improved safety profile is an area of interest in opioid research. SLL-1206 is a κOR agonist with single-digit nanomolar activities. SLL-1206 exhibits substantially improved physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties, and reduces central nervous system effects. The authors are grateful to Medicilon Preclinical Research LLC. for pharmacokinetic studies on SLL-1206.
