Target Deconvolution

Target deconvolution CRO services to support your target validation

The target deconvolution provides relevant data about the potential therapeutic target, and accelerate the target validation process. At Oncodesign Services, we provide an extensive experience for target identification and validation, including target deconvolution, to run your molecule from Hit, Lead to Candidate.

What is “target deconvolution”?

Target deconvolution refers to a set of experimental designs used in drug discovery to identify the specific biological targets with which a drug molecule interacts.

Target deconvolution involves a series of assays and data analysis approaches to determine the primary target or targets of a drug candidate. These methods can include various biochemical and biophysical techniques, such as:

• Affinity chromatography
• Mass spectrometry
• Expression cloning
• Protein Microarray
• Gene/protein expression profiling
• Reverse transfected cell microarray
• Biochemical suppression

Additional experiments and validation steps are performed to confirm the primary target or targets identified through target deconvolution. This process is crucial for understanding the drug’s mode of action, optimizing its efficacy, and predicting potential side or off-target effects.

Overall, target deconvolution plays a significant role in drug discovery by providing insights into the molecular interactions of drug candidates, aiding in the optimization of therapeutic interventions, and facilitating the development of safer and more effective drugs.
