Gene and protein expression studies are conducted. Assays like wound healing, cytotoxicity, apoptosis, anticancer, organ toxicity are carried out with cell culture facility
Discovery and development programs covering various therapeutic areas including metabolic diseases, oncology, CNS diseases, parkinson, alzheimer, anxiety, locomotor, inflammation, pain, dermatology and infectious diseases which require determination of activity using screening assays, animal studies in rats, mice and rabbits and also alternative model in zebra fish. Techniques invitro assays,in-vivo models, ELISA, absorbance, fluorescence, luminescence, PCR, imaging, spectrophotometric and colorimetric readouts
We offer a full range of in-vivo pharmacokinetic studies for the test compound and identification of metabolites in rodents (rats, mice,rabbits, hamster, guinea pigs, hamster) and zebra fish. we adopt different route of administration like oral, intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, nasal, retro orbital, vitreal etc in rats, mice, rabbits, zebra fish as appropriate. We collect biological matrices like blood, plasma, serum, tissues and organs, faeces,urine for bioanalysis of the test compounds The studies in large animals (Beagle dogs and cats, sheep) done with collaborator.
Determination of activity using in-vitro methods like cells, cell line, enzyme,and in-vivo methods using rats, mice, rabbits and zebra fish disease models to test compounds for their activity. It determines potency and effective dose or effective concentration EC50 or ED50 of compounds so that we can rank order the test compounds based on their value in the biological system. Techniques to measure the enzyme or cell activity adopts absorbance, fluorescence, luminescence, ELISA, imaging to get their mechanism of action and activity. Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, cytotoxicity, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, cytotoxicity etc are determined for the test molecules. We use cell free as well cell based assays and use molecular mechanism to understand the role of gene and protein pathways (by separation of DNA RNA protein from tissues to study MOA). Disease induction in done in rats, mice rabbits and zebra fish to know the molecule effectiveness in the preclinical evaluation during drug development stage
The in vivo preclinical animal facility at Aaranya Biosciences offers a full range of non-GLP safety pharmacology and toxicology evaluations in rats, mice, rabbits and zebra fish.
