Comprehensive Mechanism of Action (MOA) Studies of Biochemical Interactions by your Drug to produce its Pharmacological Effect
The mechanism of action of a small molecule therapeutic gets clarified by studying the biochemical reactions that lead to its pharmacological effect. Mechanism of action or MOA studies are used to achieve a deeper understanding of molecular targets and identify proteins plus activated pathways in the presence of a small molecule.
The MOA can occur on the cell membrane, within the cell, or outside the cell. Since molecular targets bind to receptors, enzymes, or ion channel at the target site, the MOA can either be receptor mediated or non-receptor mediated. A receptor mediated event occurs when a drug substance binds with its receptor and produces a drug receptor complex that triggers a biological response. A non-receptor mediated pathway occurs when a drug substance activates biological reactions through other mechanisms. Typically, chemical and physical actions such as chelation and osmosis are used to determine the relevant therapeutic impact.
Our projects with NorthEast BioLab include method development, stability studies, cross-validation of other labs, support for investigator-sponsored studies, and Clinical Phase I – IV studies. They have considerably exceeded our expectations time and again.
NorthEast BioLab provided critical insight into data analysis, and are compliant with industry best practices and regulatory standards. We would certainly recommend them and look forward to working together in the future.
NorthEast Biolab truly goes that extra mile to make the collaboration successful, and I will continue to enjoy very productive interactions with them in the future. The integrity of the staff is as refreshing as their willingness to provide ingenious scientific input and high-quality data.
Our latest study together was a pivotal bioequivalence study, where samples from a cross-over study with about 100 volunteers needed swift analysis. This study, same as all other bioanalytical studies with NorthEast BioLab, was completed with very high quality and reporting standard and incredible responsiveness.
NorthEast Biolab is by far the most responsive and thorough bioanalysis service provider. They work closely with the client to provide the most efficient and cost-effective approach to get the job done.
We have worked with NorthEast Biolab on several programs and have found them to be professional, collaborative, and responsive. As a small company, our vendors are key members of our project teams. The scientists at NorthEast Biolab are technical experts, who produce high-quality data, on-time, and on-budget.
A clear understanding of the mechanism of action of drug compounds is necessary for drug development and prevents failure at a later stage in the approval process. MOA studies help determine the clinical safety and act as a benchmark for newer drugs before their release in the market.
There are several reasons to understand the mechanism of action, a few of which are explained below:
Bioanalysis is an essential tool in drug discovery and development for determining the concentration of drugs and their metabolites as well as various pharmacodynamics biomarkers in biological fluids. In these analyses, scientists use developed an….
Mechanism of action studies assist in identifying the target pathway of specific drug compounds. Thus, helping in the development of an efficient drug dosage regimen and minimizing off-target effects. At NorthEast BioLab, we offer MOA studies for robust lead optimization.
NorthEast BioLab experts conduct MOA studies for achieving target-specific inhibition of many cellular substrates such as signaling kinases. The process involves treating cells with compounds at different concentrations, preparing cell extracts, and quantifying protein levels through Western blots and ELISA assays.
NorthEast BioLab scientists help with compound profiling to ensure that target activities of the drug compounds minimize toxicity. Using this MOA procedure, we can identify the efficacy and safety profile of a particular drug compound.
We, at NorthEast BioLab, understand the significance of MOA studies during drug discovery and development. Similar to other drug development methods, MOA studies are crucial to find the optimal dose and minimize the harmful impact of the drug compound. Hence, our team of scientists uses the highest level industry standards to conduct these studies for efficient and valuable lead optimization.
At our laboratories, we adhere to the compliance structure and guided procedures suggested by the FDA. You can count on us for innovation and rigor in understanding the biochemical reactions activated by drug compounds, without compromising safety requirements and FDA regulations. Further, our lead optimization processes involve compound profiling to identify and minimize toxicity. After the successful execution of several sub-tasks falling under MOA studies, we can establish a safe dosage regimen, improving the chances of your drug success.
