Drug Screening

Screening of drug candidates can improve the success rate of new drug R&D, reduce R&D costs, and shorten the development cycle of innovative drugs. Our screening services include efficacy screening (in vivo and in vitro), bioavailability screening, metabolic screening, and early toxicity screening.

Technical Approaches

Molecular biology, enzymology, cytology, immunology, organ and tissue assays, animal studies

Service Areas

Cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, inflammatory & autoimmune diseases, metabolic diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, neurological & psychiatric disorders, oncology, nephropathy, hematological diseases, coagulation & hemostasis, ophthalmic disease models, vaccines, etc.

Bioavailability and Metabolic Screening (In Vivo & In Vitro)

Muridda conducts early-stage screening assays for bioavailability and metabolic profiles of small-molecule compounds and biological macromolecules, as well as early tissue distribution studies, to help clients rapidly identify and optimize drug candidates.

Technical Approaches

Immunoassays (ELISA), LC-MS/MS, HPLC, isotope labeling, bioassays

Service Areas

Compounds, biological macromolecules, traditional Chinese medicines, cell therapy products, gene therapy products

Early Toxicity Screening

Early-stage genotoxicity, acute toxicity, embryotoxicity, and cardiotoxicity assays allow rapid identification of drug candidates with lower toxicity from compound series.

Single and Repeated-Dose Toxicity Screening

Custom-designed, rapid, and highly efficient studies for accurate prediction of in vivo drug toxicity and target organs.
Can be performed in small and large animal models.

Genotoxicity Assays

Ames test, micronucleus test

Cardiotoxicity Assays

Langendorff isolated heart perfusion: ECG, LVP, cardiac papillary muscle action potential recording (APD30/APD90), patch clamp: hERG current assay

Reproductive Toxicity Assays

Whole embryo culture (WEC)
