PIRAMAL DISCOVERY SOLUTIONS We, Piramal Discovery Solutions (formerly known as O2h) are an integral part of Piramal Pharma Solutions and deliver early stage drug discovery services to Pharma companies, Biotech companies and Academic institutions. Our 10,000 m² (100,000+ ft²) greenfield campus is located in a Special Economic Zone (SEZ), which is a government sponsored industrial park with specialized infrastructure to encourage export and industrialization. Our campus benefits from on-site customs clearance, central waste and power management and secure buildings with access control points. Our modern and advanced facility hosts 28 lab units (12 fume-hood reconfigurable modules), a write-up area and research campus that accommodates over 300 scientists. Our specialized areas are Medicinal and Synthetic Chemistry In vitro and in vivo Pharmacology Integrated Drug Discovery
MEDICINAL AND SYNTHETIC CHEMISTRY We are a reputed service provider of discovery chemistry. We have partnered with a range of well known pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies from Europe, USA and Japan. Our specialized team at PDS has a wide array of experience in preparing small molecule NCEs with the requisite high quality specifications. Our medicinal chemistry expertise includes hit expansion, hit to lead optimisation, lead generation and lead optimisation. All of these can be accessed as stand-alone offerings or as a part of an integrated drug discovery project. Our demonstrated expertise lies in the following chemistries Complex / multi-stage synthesis Heterocyclic Chiral Carbohydrate Peptide Aliphatic Nucleoside Natural product Our techniques include Microwave chemistry High pressure chemistry Cryogenic chemistry Parallel synthesis
Our specificities include Cambridge (UK) project office providing logistical, communications and objective project management support We have perfected clear templates which enable the systematic day-to-day reporting and measurement of scientific progress in the most effective manner Performance and productivity metrics are represented in a graphical form and shared internally as well as with the client Communications with clients range from direct communication to secure space on our intranet site for depositing documents and data arising during the projects Our dedicated team of personnel includes purchasing officers, store/stock managers as well as in-house customs liaising officer for efficient sourcing of starting materials Our IP (Intellectual Property) security model is designed to protect the IP of the clients during the project lifecycle and beyond Our scientists at are supported by a 360 º support system which aims at maximising their time to focus on their projects We value integrity in communication and action; social responsibility with respect to waste management and making a contribution to the community Our capabilities include Synthesis of small molecules on mg to kg scale (non-gmp) with the required high quality specifications, using diverse synthetic methodologies Modular custom-built lab units accommodating 12 FTE chemists each Lab units can be tailored to customer requirement, with key-card access and IP / IP security Supported with latest equipment - NMR, LC-MS / MS, microwave, combiflashes and access to literature (journals, patents etc.) Typical projects undertaken by us include: design and synthesis of discrete or series of compounds, as well as synthesis of focused libraries for SAR / SPR optimization
IN VITRO & IN VIVO PHARMACOLOGY Our biology facilities have been developed to provide faster decision-making points for our chemistry clients. Since 2008, we have doubled both our capacity as well as capability to include a range of pharmacology services to evaluate activity and/or potential liability of compounds. Currently, we are executing biology studies for several of our clients whose medicinal chemistry work is also being carried out by us; thus reducing the iterative cycle time of drug discovery and helping clients progress their compounds faster through the discovery stage. The biology work is available on a stand-alone basis as well as part of an integrated drug discovery project. I. In vitro assays ADME: solubility, permeability, CYP inhibition / induction, plasma stability (across different species), microsomal / S9 stability (across different species), plasma protein binding Target-based: enzymatic / kinase assays, binding assays, GPCR assays Cell-based: ELISA, proliferation, apoptosis, phosphorylation status, insulin sensitizer assays, cytokine production assays using hpbmcs, signal transduction assays II. In vivo assays Collagen-induced arthritis Adjuvant-induced arthritis DSS-induced colitis TNBS-induced colitis PMA-induced psoriasis / atopic dermatitis IMQ-induced psoriasis / atopic dermatitis Diet-induced obesity model Fat tolerance test Glucose tolerance test STZ-induced diabetes Cytokine release Single / repeat dose acute toxicity Oral bioavailability / tissue distribution studies Our capabilities Purpose-built labs include industry standard formats of fluorescence, luminescence and absorbance to help develop and optimize biochemical and / or cellular assays in a range of therapeutic areas In-depth expertise in pathophysiologically relevant experimental models for multiple therapeutic indications For in vivo studies, the macroscopic observations can be corroborated with a range of different techniques including but not limited to histopathological analysis, estimation of haematological and / or biochemical parameters etc Currently, the in vivo studies are performed only with rodents (e.g. mice, rats) Customization of assays based on client s requirement(s)
INTEGRATED DRUG DISCOVERY Our highly skilled team of scientists deliver services in Integrated Drug Discovery (IDD) projects incorporating medicinal chemistry (lead generation, hit-to-lead and lead optimisation), and in vitro and in vivo pharmacology.
