    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.

    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.
