SAHA was effective in restoring memory performance in this Alzheimer's disease model. SAHA was synthesized by Medicilon in this study

Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), which is FDA approved for the treatment of cancer under the trade name Zolinza®, was effective in restoring memory performance in this Alzheimer's disease (AD) model. SAHA was synthesized by Medicilon and was given to mice as 50 mg/kg doses. Injections (10 mL/kg) were given intraperitoneally and were alternated daily between left and right sides of the abdomen. Chronic treatments of SAHA completely restored performance deficits in APP/PS1 mice.

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.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of potent PPARα/δ dual agonists for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. The PK studies, hERG studies, and Ames tests were conducted by Medicilon

2023-07-11

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the advanced subtype of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and is becoming a severe global public health problem. PPARα/δ are regarded as potential therapeutic targets for NASH. Herein, researchers report a series of novel triazolone derivatives as PPARα/δ dual agonists. The pharmacokinetic studies were conducted by Medicilon. The hERG channel inhibition studies were conducted by Medicilon. The Ames tests were conducted 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.
