Evotec offers stable cell line generation services through a customised offering tailored to our partner`s needs. Cell lines are produced from recombinant cells which have been either generated by stable transfection or viral transduction. Working from highly stable clones, a broad range of target expression levels and co-expression of multiple sub-units is available. All cell lines are screened using immunofluorescence labelling, Western blot, or RT-PCR, and further validated in cell-based assays to confirm the functional expression of the target protein. Cell line generation at Evotec Cell line generation capabilities include: Custom expression strategies and vector design Constitutive or inducible target expression Target or reporter gene expression Polycistronic or independent co-expression of auxiliary factors Multiple subunits and resistance markers
Evotec has a long history in high-throughput screening utilising multiple compound collections and has run more than 320 cell based, micro-organism based or biochemical HTS campaigns. Leveraging this expertise, a state-of-the-art screening platform, a strong experience in assay development and miniaturisation (>475 assays developed), and an excellent disease biology knowledge, Evotec selects the most suitable screening strategy for your target.
Evotec typically uses a three-part incoming Quality Control (“QC”) process comprised of weight, solubility and LC-MS purity and identity to ensure that all collections start with high-quality compounds. Systems include a Waters 8-channel LC-MS system, with digital UV, ELSD and an LCT Premier mass spectrometer, and two Waters LCT Premier XE uPLC systems featuring positive and negative ESI and UV and ELS detection. Evotec also utilises a Xevo G2 Q-TOF system for quantitative determination and high resolution of compounds in DMSO solution.
Evotec has extensive experience in the identification, selection and procurement of small molecule compounds possessing very specific (including commercial, physicochemical or bioactivity-related) properties. Evotec has the capability to apply compound identification tools as required by the client.
Once compounds are identified for purchase, our Project Management group consults with selected suppliers to negotiate terms on behalf of our client requirements, e.g. price, purity and format. Evotec purchases tens of thousands of compounds on a regular basis for a number of clients; therefore, the client can benefit from our vendor relations and volume discounts.
In the pharmaceutical industry, early liability assessment of drug candidates is an important element to decrease the high attrition rate in the drug discovery and development process. One of the key challenges is the balance between drug efficacy and potential adverse effects at the earliest possible point in time for de-risking cost-intensive activities especially during late-stage clinical development.
To meet this demand, Evotec has established an industrialised high-throughput ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion) profiling service for routine compound screening against a panel of the most critical safety pharmacology targets. In support of discovery chemistry programmes, externalisation of safety pharmacology profiling is providing a unique business opportunity for Evotec’s customers to reserve internal capacity for core research activities, expanding their ADME assay portfolio and to mitigate risk. Besides these benefits, high-throughput ADME profiling is a time- and cost-efficient process consistently delivering high-quality data.
At Evotec, we perform both unbiased biomarker discovery and hypothesis validation within a disease-relevant context. As a result, we develop and make use of disease-mimicking animal models to validate biomarkers within the context of a living organism. Most importantly, where possible, we work directly with patient material to ensure clinical translatability.
Relying on our strong drug discovery expertise, we aim to identify for our partners:
•Pharmacodynamic, efficacy and target engagement biomarkers
•Stratification biomarkers to support the identification of a target patient population
•Alternate tissue or pathway read-outs (surrogate biomarkers)
•Safety biomarkers to monitor toxicity
