    Home Innovation Innovative Small Molecule(s) Research Institute

    Small molecule drugs are biologically active compounds synthesized with organic chemistry approaches, with molecular weight below 1000 Da. They have excellent pharmacological functions and tissue distribution properties, allowing for broad therapeutic indications. They also have good pharmacokinetic profiles and chemical stability, with the advantages of convenient storage and transportation. They are orally administered; hence it is easier to get patients to comply with treatments. Furthermore, they can be designed in novel and creative ways for differentiation and unmet medical needs. For these reasons, small molecules exert huge therapeutic potential in various disease areas and continue to be the mainstay of the pharmaceutical industry.


    R & D Overview

    Focusing on current urgent and unmet medical needs, the Innovative Small Molecules Research Institute are committed to developing new small molecule therapeutics. We aim for comprehensive understandings of the disease biology and establishment of innovative, high-value portfolio. 

    Our pipeline covers 5 major disease areas, including kidney diseases, oncology, respiratory and infectious diseases, and neurological disorders. Our team of scientists bring together deep expertise in discovery biology, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, ADME, toxicology, formulation and process development, regulatory affairs and clinical development. We combine our unique knowledge and experiences with cutting-edge technologies including chemo-informatics, molecular biology, computer-assisted drug design, artificial intelligence and machine learning, to gain speed and improve success rates of small molecule screening and optimization.

    Featured Therapeutic Areas

    Cardiovascular Diseases

    • 290 million

      patients with CVD in China

    • over 40% deaths
      of diseased population
    • 1st

      mortality rate

    The prevalsence and mortality rate of cardiovascular diseases continue to increase in China. It is now the leading cause of deaths, with over 40% deaths of diseased population. The orally delivered small molecule anti-coagulants are widely used in cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, transient ischemic attack, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and myocardial infarction. These drugs significantly inhibit the progression of arterial or venous thrombosis, thereby preventing venous thrombosis. They also prevent stroke and systemic embolism caused by nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, avoiding adverse consequences of acute myocardial infarction.

    • Oncology

      4 million

      new cancer cases very year in China

      Malignant tumor has been a major threat. Currently around 4 million new cases are reported every year in China.
      The small molecule anti-tumor drugs are developed against oncogenes. Once absorbed, these drugs specifically bind to their targets, leading to the apoptosis induction and proliferation inhibition of tumor cells. Targeted drugs show much higher specificity, better efficacy, and less toxicity, as compared to conventional chemotherapeutic agents.

    • Kidney Diseases

      119.5 million

      CKD patients in China

      The chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common chronic disease in China, and current patient population is about 119.5 million. The progression of CKD is affected by multiple factors, including hemodynamic changes, metabolic disorders, inflammation, and fibrosis. In addition to existing prophylactic approaches of lowering blood pressure (controlling hemodynamics) and blood sugar (improving metabolism), further novel effective therapeutics are needed to slow down CKD progression. We are working towards this goal by developing small molecule drugs to inhibit hyperactivation of mineralocorticoid receptors and overexpression of inflammatory factors and cytokines, to ultimately reduce inflammation and fibrosis

    • Respiratory and Infectious Diseases

      0.7 million

      deaths due to antibiotic resistance every year worldwide

      The small molecule anti-bacterial drugs interfere with the metabolism of pathogenic microorganisms, inhibiting critical synthetic pathways for nucleic acids, proteins, cell membranes and cell wall. As compared to conventional anti-bacterial agents, the novel molecules we’ve developed are specifically designed to tackle multidrug resistance. They showed broader spectrum, higher bactericidal activity, and better safety profile in human. These molecules are effective against several multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria, providing a potentially better option for treating MDR bacterial infections and severe systemic infections.
