In Vivo Anti-Hypertension Service
The General Pharmacology team at WuXi Biology offers in vivo screening and testing for the pharmacological effects of anti-hypertension candidates for our clients using wireless remote systems in free moving awake animals (including rodents and large animals). Several candidates have been approved by CFDA/FDA in 2016-2017 referencing studies carried out in our laboratories.
We use DSI telemetry system in SHR, salt sensitive (DSS, DOCA) or angiotensin II-induced hypertension animals to evaluate anti-hypertension candidates.
Methods:
- Telemetry monitoring of ECG and BP in free moving animal
- ECG/ BP transmitters were implanted 12 days prior to dosing
- po, sc, or iv drug administration
- ECG and BP continuous recording for 12h post-dosing
- Data are analyzed by DSI Ponemah package
Species: rat, dogs, NHP
Endpoint: MBP, SBP, DBP, HR, ECG
Turnaround time: 4~8weeks/study
