Off-Target Screening Cell Microarray Assay

To mitigate or minimize off-target effects that may impact subsequent research or applications, Creative Biolabs offers off-target screening cell microarray analysis (OTSCMA) services to assist clients in assessing the safety of drugs.

What is Off-Target Screening Cell Microarray Analysis (OTSCMA)?

Off-target effect

Off-target effects refer to the phenomenon in drug development where candidate drugs bind to unintended targets and exert adverse effects. Typically, drugs are designed to interact with specific targets to achieve the intended therapeutic effects. However, off-target effects can result in unexpected side effects, toxicity, or other adverse impacts.

Off-Target Screening Cell Microarray Analysis

OTSCMA is a method used to assess the nonspecific binding or cross-reactivity of therapeutic drugs. This analysis typically utilizes cell microarrays with a large-scale expression of human proteins, where cell surface or secreted proteins are used as targets for off-target screening. By detecting the binding or reaction between the therapeutic substance or specific ligand and specific proteins in the cells, the off-target binding to unintended targets can be evaluated.

Why Conduct OTSCMA?

Assessing candidate drugs

OTSCMA helps drug developers gain a more comprehensive understanding of the binding characteristics of candidate drugs. This aids in the early identification of potential safety issues and optimization of drug design during the drug development process, thereby enhancing drug safety.

Reducing the risk of off-target effects

By performing OTSCMA, potential off-target binding can be identified early, and the impact of this nonspecific binding on receptor cells can be promptly evaluated, thus reducing the risk of off-target effects.

Accelerating drug development

Regulatory agencies require specific evaluation of drugs in drug applications and comprehensive studies on off-target effects. OTSCMA provides data on off-target interactions of candidate drugs, which contribute to the acceptance of candidate drugs by regulatory agencies.
