SCIEX and Hepregen Announce Co-Marketing Agreement for Comprehensive Metabolite Identification Solution

Alliance Establishes SCIEX and Hepregen as a One-Stop Solution Provider for Drug Metabolism Investigators

May 20, 2015

Framingham and Medford, MA — SCIEX, a global innovator in life science analytical technologies and Hepregen Corporation, a leader in the development of next-generation, application-directed, cell-based in vitro assay products, today announced a Co-Marketing Agreement to deliver a new metabolite identification (Met ID) solution for drug metabolism scientists. From cell culture to interpretation, this solution provides an extensive view into in vitro data to enable researchers to generate, identify and analyze metabolites in one simple workflow. Customers are guided through the entire workflow, including report generation, with an easy-to-use software solution from start to finish.

This Met ID solution mitigates the chances of downstream drug failure for customers, resulting in higher success rates for drug candidate selection, ensuring that an important metabolite will not be missed.

This Comprehensive Met ID solution includes:

These combined best-in-class tools and methods offer this complete in vitro metabolite identification, profiling and stability solution, using only micromolar to sub-micromolar amounts of new chemical entities. Drug metabolism scientists can now easily detect potentially reactive, toxic, active, and inactive metabolites at trace levels, with high confidence, and unprecedented speed.

"Until now, particularly in the case of low-turnover compounds, drug metabolism researchers have had significant difficulty predicting in vitro metabolic outcomes with complete confidence", said Joe Fox, Senior Director of Pharma Business at SCIEX. "Together with Hepregen, we have established this much needed end-to-end solution for our Met ID customers by combining our best-in-class TripleTOF MS instruments, SWATH® Acquisition and MetabolitePilot software with HepatoPac kits for the species most relevant for drug development."

"By combining the proven and comprehensive metabolite-generating capability of Hepregen HepatoPac kits with the best-in-class SCIEX LC-MS solution, customers can now achieve the highest confidence in their in vitro metabolite results", said Dr. Vincent Zurawski, Hepregen CEO. "Partnering with SCIEX has enabled Hepregen to offer researchers the most advanced and predictive hepatic metabolite analysis system in the industry."
