Syngene InternationalAn Indian CRDMO with a broad range of services from drug discovery research to non-clinical and clinical development, and manufacturing.We provide contract services including pharmacology, DMPK, safety assessment, and toxicity testing in-house, supporting everything from lead compound discovery to non-clinical development for IND submission.
At Syngene,Non-clinical development combining pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and safety evaluationIt supports this. In the early stages of drug discovery, pharmacology, PK, and exploratory toxicology are conducted, which then progress to GLP toxicity studies, safety pharmacology, and genotoxicity in subsequent IND-enabling studies. A key feature is the ability to build a data package for clinical trials by evaluating not only the efficacy of candidate compounds, but also systemic exposure and safety in a step-by-step manner.
Non-clinical toxicity studies compliant with GLPWe also offer repeat-dose toxicity studies using rodents and non-rodents, as well as genotoxicity evaluations such as the Ames test, in vivo micronucleus test, and chromosome aberration test. For safety pharmacology, we conduct evaluations of hERG, CNS, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems. The 2026 annual report also confirms the re-certification of our GLP facility by India's National GLP Compliance Monitoring Authority.
In DMPK,Multifaceted evaluation of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretionAdditionally, we can evaluate the exposure levels and bioavailability of candidate compounds. Furthermore, we offer SEND services with FDA submissions in mind. Not only can we convert data from in vivo studies conducted in-house, but we can also convert non-clinical toxicity study data generated by other CROs into the SEND format. With a track record of converting over 2 million data points into the SEND format since 2018, we support the preparation of non-clinical data for regulatory submissions.
At Syngene,In vivo pharmacology models across a wide range of disease areas including cancer, inflammation, metabolism, and neurologyIt supports evaluation using . By combining specialized teams such as Safety Assessment, pharmacology, and DMPK, we can comprehensively evaluate the efficacy and safety of candidate compounds. We also accommodate study designs tailored to research objectives.
Syngene has published a case study on being contracted by Cytopeutics in Malaysia for the non-clinical safety evaluation of a cell therapy product.5 non-clinical studies including MTD test, toxicity test, and carcinogenicity testand also conducted a 26-week tumorigenicity evaluation using immunodeficient mice. We compiled data based on regulatory requirements and supported development for clinical trials and product registration.

In non-clinical development, the choice of contract research organization shapes the quality of the data and the time it takes to reach the next decision. Below, three CROs are introduced by the type of study they support: pharmacology (efficacy) studies, safety studies, and pharmacokinetic (PK/PD) studies. Each summary describes the services the company offers so that you can match a provider to your target and development objective.
SMC Laboratories is a specialized non-clinical CRO focused on in vivo pharmacology and efficacy studies using disease-relevant animal models, particularly in fibrosis, inflammation, metabolic diseases, and oncology.
SMC Laboratories offers models covering the liver, lung, kidney, intestine, and oncology. Its portfolio includes the proprietary STAM™ model for MASH, fibrosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.
Study plans are developed around the target biology, mechanism of action, disease stage, and development objective. Pharmacological endpoints can be combined with histopathology, biomarkers, and disease-specific readouts.
With experience from more than 1,000 studies for clients in 30 countries, SMC Laboratories supports programs from target validation and candidate selection through in vivo proof-of-concept studies.
Charles River provides non-clinical toxicology and safety assessment services for programs ranging from exploratory safety studies to IND-enabling development.
Services include single- and repeat-dose toxicology, dose-range finding, and general toxicology studies across multiple species and administration routes.
Charles River supports both non-GLP and GLP studies, allowing sponsors to progress from early safety characterization to studies intended for regulatory submissions.
Toxicology studies can be integrated with toxicokinetics, clinical pathology, histopathology, and safety pharmacology to support interpretation and IND-enabling safety packages.
Inotiv provides integrated PK/PD, DMPK, and bioanalytical services to characterize drug exposure and its relationship with pharmacological response.
PK studies characterize exposure, half-life, clearance, and other pharmacokinetic parameters needed to understand how a candidate behaves in the selected model.
Pharmacokinetic data can be combined with pharmacodynamic endpoints and bioanalysis to evaluate the relationship between drug exposure and pharmacological response.
Integrated DMPK, pharmacology, and safety information supports candidate comparison, dose selection, dosing-frequency optimization, and decisions about subsequent preclinical development.
