Client Chooses its Most Potent Compounds
Piedmont Research Center (PRC) screened the first several modifications of
a new technology enabling the modification of an existing cytotoxic agent,
determined an MTD for the client's most promising molecule and obtained initial
efficacy data.
With this information, the client chose the most potent compounds and proposed
a full pre-clinical development package including re-establishing the MTD
of purified leads, pharmacokinetics and biodistribution, along with the efficacy
studies, using these analogs on different schedules and at different dose
levels. Future plans include testing the lead compound in a variety of tumor
models and also toxicology studies.
