US-based Millipore Corporation and CXR Biosciences, of Scotland, have launched their first jointly developed products for the pre-clinical drug development marketplace.

These products, several of which address unmet market needs, are antibodies that identify key enzymes and transcription factors important in drug metabolism and its regulation. The product portfolio includes:

  • Human Cytochrome P450 CYP2D6
  • Human Cytochrome P450 CYP2A6
  • Human Cytochrome P450 Reductase (POR)
  • Human Pregnane X Receptor (PXR)
  • Human Constitutive Androstane receptor (CAR)
  • Human Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR) (27 to 143)
  • Human Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR) (322 to 472)
Announced as a joint co-development agreement in 2005, the partnership strengthens Millipore's increasing presence in the preclinical drug testing market and launches CXR's entry into the reagent industry. Future co-development efforts will be focused on building predictive toxicity and drug metabolism screens to profile compounds in various cell based and in vitro assays.
