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.

TAK-931 is a cancer therapeutic with a unique mechanism of action. Antitumor efficacy studies for TAK-931 were carried out at Medicilon
2023-08-21
Replication stress (RS) is a cancer hallmark; chemotherapeutic drugs targeting RS are widely used as treatments for various cancers. To develop next-generation RS-inducing anticancer drugs, cell division cycle 7 (CDC7) has attracted attention as a target. Researchers have developed an oral CDC7-selective inhibitor, TAK-931, as a candidate clinical anticancer drug. TAK-931 demonstrated marked, dose-dependent antitumor activity, without severe body weight loss. Antitumor efficacy studies for TAK-931 were carried out in two pancreatic PDX models, PHTX-249Pa and PHTXM-97Pa, at 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

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.

Cell division cycle 7 (CDC7) plays important roles in DNA replication. Researchers developed a highly specific CDC7 inhibitor, TAK-931, as a clinical cancer therapeutic agent. The antitumor efficacy studies in PDX models were performed at Medicilon. Medicilon has established a complete evaluation system for preclinical anti-tumor efficacy, and has more than 200 different types of tumor efficacy models.
