With years of research and development, Creative Biolabs has established an advanced one-stop PROTAC® service platform. Besides the early stage molecule discovery service and a series of PROTAC in vitro evaluation assays, we also provide in vivo animal test assays to evaluate the toxicity and ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) of PROTAC®s in experimental animals.
In vivo test refers to the experimentation within the whole and living organisms, such as mouse and rat. In vivo studies include both animal studies and clinical trials. Since in vivo studies has the potential to provide the conclusive insights about the safety assessment of PROTAC®s, they are critically instructive to explore the most potential PROTAC®s which can be pushed into clinical trials. Creative Biolabs is proficient at in vivo animal studies to facilitate the PROTAC® discovery and development projects prior to clinical stages.
PROTAC® is small molecule which consists of a target protein ligand, an E3 ligase ligand, and a linker. It can be a potential drug because of the degradation function targeted disease-causing proteins. For drug discovery and development process, in vivo animal tests are very important and determinant if the candidate PROTAC®s can be investigated for clinical trials. In addition, the results of in vivo animal tests can be used to guide the lead optimization of PROTAC®s to ensure low toxicity and better ADME properties. In Creative Biolabs, both toxicity test and ADME test are available for PROTAC® in vivo services.

Toxicity assessment plays a crucial role in drug safety profiling, which is the major reason of drug development termination. Therefore, toxicity assays for candidate PROTAC®s are essential to ensure the safety profile of the potential drug in animal models. Creative Biolabs is dedicated to offering a comprehensive set of toxicity assays, including acute toxicity test, repeated dose toxicity test, development and reproductive toxicity, and carcinogenicity test, etc. We can have a flexible choice to best fit the projects and also the budget.
ADME refers to absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of a candidate drug. Promising ADME properties can translate to good PK properties. Assessments of the pharmacological properties of ADME of a candidate PROTAC® is critical for candidate selection and further lead optimization. Creative Biolabs offers various in vivo ADME assays including mass-balance studies, quantitative tissue distribution studies, metabolite identification/profiling, and excretion balance, etc. You are welcomed to contact us if any specific requirements.
