Drug Activity

Our studies are designed and run by seasoned experts.

Services include:

  • Pharmacokinetic & pharmacodynamic drug testing
  • Pharmacodynamic modeling for candidate selection, safety evaluation and patient dosing strategies

We can also:

  • Identify appropriate dosing routes
  • Conduct dose range finding studies
  • Perform studies to establish the maximum tolerated dose

We have a large collection of reference compounds for comparator studies.

Drug Formulation

If you need assistance with drug candidate pre-formulation and formulation development, Noble scientists will apply their expertise to address your needs.

Exploratory Toxicology

Noble scientists will work with you to examine the toxicology of your drug candidate as part of your development program.

Studies types include:

  • Acute, subchronic, & chronic toxicology
  • Sensitization
  • Irritancy
  • Dermal
  • Repeat dose

GLP Toxicology Services

Toxicology studies are required to determine the adverse effects of drug candidates and the effect of dosage on toxicity. To assess toxicity, Noble offers a wide range of GLP and non-GLP toxicology services.

  • Exploratory Toxicology
  • General Toxicology
  • Immunotoxicology and Immunogenicity
  • Development and Reproductive Toxicology
  • Toxicokinetics

In addition to GLP toxicology services, Noble Life Sciences provides all aspects of the GLP process from design to regulatory support of your IND, IDE or PMA FDA submission.

PASSIONATE ABOUT COLLABORATING FOR A CURE

Mouse Peritonitis/Sepsis Model of MRSA Infection

Mouse Peritonitis/Sepsis Model of MRSA Infection

Noble Life Sciences, in collaboration with ImQuest Biosciences, has optimized the peritonitis/sepsis mouse model to screen for new antibacterial agents against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The model’s popularity derives from its ease of use with small and expensive animals, short-duration experiments with reproducible infections, and simple end-points.
