    Introduction

    Defined as low molecular weight compounds, small molecule drugs can easily penetrate cell membranes. Their advantages, including ease of oral administration, cost-effective manufacturing, and chemical stability, make them a cornerstone of pharmaceutical industry. Small molecule drugs are widely used in treating cancer, infectious diseases, neurological disorders, and metabolic conditions.

    At Bioctyogen, our innovative animal models, including 900+ target humanized models, 200+ CDX and 260+ PDX models, and orthotopic models, facilitate efficient efficacy evaluations of small molecule drugs and combination treatments.

    Case Study 1: In vivo Efficacy of Small Molecule Drugs in Xenograft PDX Tumor Models
    In vivo efficacy of EGFR-targeted drugs in pancreatic cancer PDX models

    Antitumor activity of Drugs target EGFR in B-NDG mice. (A) Molecular targeted small-molecule anti-cancer drugs slightly inhibited tumor growth of BP0062 in B-NDG mice. PDX model of BP0062 was subcutaneously implanted into B-NDG mice (female, 6 week-old, n=6). Mice were grouped when tumor volume reached approximately 100 mm3, at which time they were treated with different targeted drugs and schedules indicated in panel. (B) Body weight changes during treatment. As shown in panel A, Molecular targeted small-molecule anti-cancer drugs were efficacious, demonstrating that PDX model of BP0062 can be used to establish tumor model and provide a powerful preclinical pancreatic tumor model with EGFR positive cells. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM.

    In vivo efficacy of Gemcitabine in pancreatic cancer PDX models

    Antitumor activity of gemcitabine in B-NDG mice. (A) Gemcitabine slightly inhibited tumor growth of BP0062 in B-NDG mice. PDX model of BP0062 was subcutaneously implanted into B-NDG mice (female, 6 week-old, n=6). Mice were grouped when tumor volume reached approximately 100 mm3, at which time they were treated with different targeted drugs and schedules indicated in panel. (B) Body weight changes during treatment. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM.
