Innovation

Shining a light on the treatment of CNS disorders and cancer care.

SK Life Science is here listening to the needs of healthcare providers, patients, caregivers, advocates, and scientists. We are developing new molecules, enhancing advocacy efforts, and providing solutions that change what’s possible in the treatment of CNS disorders and cancer care.

Our Medicines

SK Life Science is committed to accelerating the development of next generation treatments for CNS disorders and cancer care. SK Biopharmaceuticals and SK Life Science independently developed XCOPRI® (cenobamate tablets) CV from inception through FDA approval.

Invigorating Next Generation Discovery

We are a group of scientists, inventors, and explorers tirelessly working to develop solutions that will improve CNS and cancer care

Leveraging Technologies to Include:

  • Target-based drug discovery techniques
  • High throughput organic screening (HTOs)/high content screening (HCS)
  • Computer-aided drug design (CADD)
  • Combinatorial chemistry

Key R&D Sectors:

We deploy our technologies in the areas of biology/discovery, medicinal chemistry, and pharmacology. The goal of research in these areas is to bring meaningful products to market.

Select A Sector For Details

We are responsible for lead compound discovery and optimization. This sector:

  • IDENTIFIES and validates signal and molecular targets
  • DEVELOPS screening technologies
  • PERFORMS high-throughput screening (HTS) leveraging technologies
  • PARTICIPATES in joint studies on targets known to have high target-disease correlation
  • INVESTIGATES the efficacy and safety of lead compounds

The medicinal chemistry sector of SK Life Science is responsible for:

  • IDENTIFYING a wide array of drug candidates for the treatment of CNS disorders and cancer
  • OPTIMIZING lead compounds in terms of their structure-activity relationships
  • DEVELOPING processes for clinical candidates to lead compound discovery and optimization

To maximize efficiency, we have implemented a CADD system, a high-efficiency synthesis infrastructure, an established structure-diverse library, and a target focus library.

The pharmacology sector is responsible for research programs in which drug candidates are studied to enable prediction of drug activity in the human body.
