Our highly-skilled team of histotechnicians under the supervision of experienced pathologists perform the male fertility evaluations in rats and mice. The studies are conducted with speed and rigor and the study designs are highly customized to cater to the client product development purposes. We also offer standalone services as required by the clients for performing standalone histopathology or clinical pathology services.
A separate set of additional animals are kept for the vehicle control group for comparison of test item induced changes. The doses are selected based on a dose range finder study or as per the available information on the general toxicity of the test article.
Testing
The test item formulations are prepared in suitable vehicle and typically administered for period of at least 11 weeks before mating, during mating, and until necropsy. Cohabitation is done (ideally 1:1 ratio) with untreated female animals at least for a period of 14 days. The high dose is expected to produce evidence of toxicity whereas the mid and low doses are assigned to determine the dose response effects. Vaginal smears from females are made during the cohabitation for determining the stages of estrous and for the presence of sperm. After confirmation of positive mating, females are separated from the male, body weights recorded during gestation. On gestation day 13 to 15, females are euthanized, gross necropsy is conducted and the number of corpora lutea and the location and status of each implant site (live/dead embryo and early/late resorption) are recorded.
Screening and Evaluation
In males, after a period of one month of successful mating, necropsy is conducted, reproductive organs such as testis, epidydimides, seminal vesicles, and prostrate are collected and preserved for histopathology. Also, semen parameters such as sperm count, sperm motility and sperm viability are evaluated for test item related effects. Serum testosterone levels are also measured. Microscopic examination of testis and epidydimides is carried out for tissue level abnormalities.

Neoantigen Specific T cells For Cancer Immunotherapy
An effective anti-tumor immune response in human is marked by presence of T cells reactive against neoantigens. Neoantigens are HLA-bound unique peptides arise from tumor-specific somatic mutations. Neoantigens are highly immunogenic because they are not present in normal tissues and hence bypass central thymic tolerance. The success of immune checkpoint blockade...

A metal catalyst-free and one-pot synthesis of (3,4- dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-2-yl)methanol derivatives in water
2015
A robust and metal catalyst-free method has been developed for the general and green synthesis of racemic (3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4] oxazin-2-yl)methanol derivatives. This simple, mild and practical method involves the reaction of 2-aminophenols with ()-epichlorohydrin in the presence of NaOH in water at room temperature. The reaction features high regioselec...

Alternate end-game strategies towards Nirmatrelvir synthesis: Defining a continuous flow process for the preparation of an anti-COVID drug
2005
Scalable alternate end-game strategies for the synthesis of the anti-COVID drug molecule Nirmatrelvir (1,PF-07321332) have been described. The first involves a direct synthesis of 1 via amidation of the carboxylic acid 7 (suitably activated as a mixed anhydride with either pivaloyl chloride or T3P) with the ...

A Sensitive and a Simple RP-HPLC Method Development and Verification for the Quantitative Estimation of Cholecalciferolin Tablets
2005
Cholecalciferol, also known as Vitamin D3, is widely prescribed for the treatment osteomalacia and osteoporosis [1]. It also plays a key role in calcium and phosphorus homeostasis and skeletal mineralization [2]. IUPAC name of Cholecalciferol is (3β, 5Z, 7E)- 9,10-secocholesta-5,7,10(19)-trien-3-ol, whose molecular weight is 384.64 g/mol and its molecular formul...

Discovery of MAP855, an Efficacious and Selective MEK1/2 Inhibitor with an ATP-Competitive Mode of Action.
2005
Mutations in MEK1/2 have been described as a resistance mechanism to BRAF/MEK inhibitor treatment. We report the discovery of a novel ATP-competitive MEK1/2 inhibitor with efficacy in wildtype (WT) and mutant MEK12 models. Starting from a HTS hit, we obtained selective, cellularly active ...
