Pharmacology Division

The pharmacology Division of the institute is engaged mainly in anticancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic drug discovery and development from natural as well as semi-synthetic sources. The division has been working on PI3K-Akt-mTOR signalling, EGFR, DNA methyl transferases, histone methyl transferases and histone deacetylases, the major focus being discovery of target specific novel small molecule modulator(s) from natural products, synthetic and semi-synthetic sources in an attempt to achieve the more potent preventive and chemotherapeutic effects. The division has state of the art facilities for in vitro cytotoxicity studies against human cancer cell lines, in vivo anticancer studies against murine tumor models/human cancer xenograft/orthotropic models and target based in vitro mechanistic studies leading to the discovery of novel anti-cancer chemotherapeutics. On mechanistic side, regulation of tumor invasion, metastasis, epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) and wnt /beta-catenin signalling in cancer and stem cell biology by natural products/their semi-synthetic derivatives is the current area of focus. Among inflammatory disorders, the division has programs to develop natural product driven drug candidates for Rheumatoid Arthritis & Inflammatory disorders, diabetes mellitus and obesity. The division is equipped with state of the art GLP standard Animal facility housing number of inbred, outbred and transgenic rodent strains.
