Drug discoveryOne major part in the field of drug discovery is to understand how the action of a drug is controlled at the physiological level. Information about the action of drugs and on potential drug safety issues is required. The behavior of a large number of cell types from different origins after the treatment with potential hits is investigated. The online monitoring over an extended period of time including the possibility of analyzing recovery processes is a major advantage in this field of research.
- Lead profiling: evaluate leads by inhibition or activation of cell metabolism
- Target validation: confirm target specific cellular actions and signalling of specific compounds
The on-line and long-term monitoring of compound actions in vitro with the Bionas® analyzing system can be included in all stages of drug discovery from the initial target finding to the final characterization of leads.
