Medicinal Chemistry

Our highly experienced medicinal chemistry team is credited with sixteen INDs and six marketed drugs. We leverage our team’s experience of 200 plus years in multiple therapeutic areas including Oncology, Inflammation, Infection, CNS, etc, to efficiently support medicinal chemistry projects; including hit-to-lead, lead optimization and preclinical development.

Specific services include:

Lead identification and optimization: design and synthesis of the latest analogues to optimize potency, selectivity, efficacy, bioavailability, metabolism, etc.

Hit confirmation and expansion (confirm structure and activity of hit clusters). Synthesis of selected analogues to gauge scaffolds and choose lead series

Small molecule patent strategy development and implementation (done together with a law firm)

Project management and consulting

Generate proprietary structures (knowledge-based design)

Optimization of scaffolds to resolve different ADME issues

Design and synthesis of a focused library to deal with selected medicinal chemistry issues

Analytical Chemistry

Our analytical chemistry team is composed of experienced scientists with diverse skill sets ranging from chiral separation to molecular characterization by NMR studies including NOESY, COSY, HR-NMR, 2D-NMR, and IR, etc. They are supported with a fully equipped analytical laboratory. We have a dedicated QC team for the final release of the client’s compounds.

We offer the following services:

Analytical HPLC method development

Purification of chiral and achiral compounds (up to g scale) by Prep-HPLC

LCMS and HPLC purity analysis (Both chiral and achiral compounds)

Computational Chemistry

We have dedicated computational chemists, who are well-versed with the latest software and algorithms to work in close collaboration with our team of medicinal chemists. They carry out target analysis, library design, virtual screening, ligand and protein structure-based discovery. In addition to our in-house databases, we are amenable to utilize online resources to advance discovery projects. Our cloud server enables real time sharing of large data files.

We provide the following services:

Manually curated and proprietary virtual library of 10 million lead like molecules.

Support compound procurement and analog by catalog efforts

Virtual ligand screening utilizing water mapping and energetics

Development of Homology model

Docking and scoring of compounds in protein structure

Multi-Parameter Optimization (MPO or MPOv2) calculation
