With its innovative functional assay platform for G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), Tanso Biosciences promotes human health by expanding frontiers in drug discovery and accelerating research & development.
Core Business
Drug Discovery Enterprise
We take advantage of our all-around assay technology and engage in drug discovery for orphan GPCRs.
Contract Services
Panel assays, concentration dependence analysis, and other functional assays for > 300 orphan and non-orphan GPCRs.
Assay Platform
Uses
- On-target and off-target screening for drug discovery
- Compound profiling
- Strategy development
- In-licensing assessment
- Drug repurposing
Key Features
Potency-Oriented
Characterizes compounds' potency, not affinity, on target GPCR in various modes
Super-Sensitive
Dramatically and specifically amplifies G-protein-dependent signals
All-Around
All GPCRs are amenable in single assay format, regardless of Gα proteins coupled
Voice of Client
Tanso Bio helps us accelerate structure-activity relationship studies.
Tanso Bio's assays have revealed key features of our compounds that would otherwise remain unnoticed.

Service Flow Chart
Request for Quotation
Tell us about the types of tests you need, the number of compounds, the receptors of interest, and other preferences. A non-disclosure agreement is optional.
Order
A non-disclosure agreement is optional.
Compound Shipment
The client ships test compounds to our laboratory. We usually perform assays and write a report in three weeks from the receipt of the compounds.
Receipt of the Report
We provide the report and raw data for the client via email or a cloud service.
